About casestatus.in
What We Do
casestatus.in is a free tool for checking court case status across Indian courts — the Supreme Court, all 25 High Courts, and 18,735+ District and Taluka courts.
We make publicly available court records accessible in a fast, clean, mobile-friendly format. Check case status by CNR number, browse Supreme Court judgments, or look up High Court cases by state.
Legal Basis
Court cases are public records in India. The right to publish court records is grounded in Indian law:
Copyright Act, 1957 — Section 52(1)(q)(iv)
The Indian Copyright Act explicitly provides that the reproduction or publication of a judgment or order of a court, tribunal, or other judicial authority does not constitute an infringement of copyright — unless the court itself prohibits such publication.
Right to Privacy — R. Rajagopal vs State of Tamil Nadu (1994)
The Supreme Court of India held that publication of court records does not violate the right to privacy:
"Once a matter becomes a matter of public record, the right to privacy no longer subsists and it becomes a legitimate subject for comment by press and media among others."
R. Rajagopal vs State of Tamil Nadu, 1994 SCC (6) 632
Restrictions We Observe
While court records are public, certain protections apply. We respect:
- Court orders that specifically prohibit publication of particular cases
- Identity protections under the POCSO Act and for sexual assault survivors
- Restrictions on in-camera proceedings and sealed records
- Juvenile justice protections
