Start with courts, then branch out
Current coverage is strongest on court pendency, judicial officials, statutes, and gazette notifications. Legal aid and criminal-justice infrastructure are not yet on file.
Court data changes frequently. Treat every metric as an as-of snapshot and use the linked official systems for current case-status or order checks.
Find the official text
Use India Code for statutes and subordinate legislation, and eGazette for published notifications, appointments, and orders. Court statistics answer a different question.
Statutes and subordinate legislation
Use India Code for Acts, rules, regulations, and official legal text references.
Gazette notices
Use eGazette for notifications, appointments, orders, and publication records.
Access to justice
