Enter the 16-character CNR from a court order or notice to see which court it belongs to, then track the case.
The CNR is printed at the top of every court order and notice in the case, and your advocate will have it. Some courts also print it in their cause lists. If you only know the case number or a party name, search for the case on the eCourts portal — the result shows the CNR. Type it without hyphens or spaces; the box above strips them for you.
Every CNR has the same four parts. Here is the example DLST010012342024:
| Characters | Example | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | DLST | Court code. For a district court, the state and district (DL + ST). HC in it marks a High Court, SCIN the Supreme Court. |
| 5–6 | 01 | Establishment. The court complex within that code. It can be letters or digits. |
| 7–12 | 001234 | Serial. The running number of the case in that establishment. It is not the case number. |
| 13–16 | 2024 | Year. The year the case was filed. |
Tracking adds the case to your LawCentral account. We fetch it from the court after you sign in, and you get:
The first 5 days are free, with no card. After that, tracking is part of a paid plan — see pricing.
Case status is public and free on the court’s own site. Enter the CNR, solve the captcha, and you see the status, next date and orders. Use the portal for the court your case is in:
The eCourts case status guide walks through every search on the portal — by CNR, case number, party name, advocate and filing number — and what to do when it says “No records found”.
CNR stands for Case Number Record. It is the 16-character code eCourts gives every case, for example DLST010012342024. The case number can repeat across courts and years; the CNR does not, which is why it is the most reliable way to look a case up.
Not without an account. This page checks that your CNR is well-formed and shows what it encodes: the court code, the establishment, the serial number and the year of filing. To see the live status, track the case in LawCentral, which fetches it from the court after you sign in, or check it free on the official eCourts portal linked under the box.
Checking a CNR here is free, and so is the official eCourts portal. Tracking a case in LawCentral starts with a free 5-day trial with no card needed. After the trial it is part of a paid plan; prices are on the pricing page.
It is printed at the top of court orders and notices issued in the case. Your advocate will have it. If you only know the case number or a party name, search for the case on the eCourts portal: the result shows the CNR.
Yes. High Court CNRs usually carry HC in the first four letters (HCBM… is the Bombay High Court) and Supreme Court CNRs start with SCIN. The box tells you which level a CNR belongs to and links the right official portal for it.
The case details from the court record: parties, case type, status and stage, the next hearing date, the hearing history and the orders. You get email and app alerts when the next date, status or stage changes or a new order appears, and hearing reminders on the app or on WhatsApp once you turn it on.
Usually the CNR was typed with a wrong character, or with hyphens or spaces. A case filed in the last few days may not be on the portal yet. A High Court CNR also will not be found on the district court portal, and the other way round, so check that you are on the right one.
