Mumbai, Nagpur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Panaji. A practice that spans two states and two union territories should not need four browser windows.
The Bombay High Court sits at Mumbai and at benches in Nagpur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) and Panaji, and it serves Maharashtra, Goa, and Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu. Lawgger carries the causelist for any of those sittings on any date, the live display boards through court hours, and CNR tracking with a plain-words digest.
No other High Court in India spreads its jurisdiction across quite this map, and the map is the reason a Maharashtra practice is organised the way it is.
The principal seat, and the sitting where the court's Original Side work is carried on alongside its appellate jurisdiction. Causelists, boards and CNR tracking all covered.
The bench serving the Vidarbha side of the state. Lawgger carries its causelists for any date and its display board through court hours.
Formerly Aurangabad, and still widely searched under that name. Lawgger matches both, and covers the bench's lists and board in full.
The Goa bench of the Bombay High Court. Its lists and board sit in the same watchlist as the Maharashtra sittings.
The court's jurisdiction runs over Maharashtra, Goa, and the union territories of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu. That is one court, but four working communities, four sets of lists published independently, and — in Goa — a partly different body of applicable law.
Bombay is one of India's chartered High Courts, and it still runs an Original Side alongside its Appellate Side. That is not a historical footnote; it is why a Mumbai advocate speaks of two different list traditions inside the same building, with their own case-type prefixes, their own filing practice and their own vocabulary.
For someone who has practised only in a High Court without an original side, this is the thing that makes a Bombay list read strangely at first. Suits, and the interim applications that come with them, sit in the same building as writs and appeals. A first-time reader who scans for a familiar prefix will not find it.
The practical answer is to filter by what your matter actually is before you read anything. Lawgger does that filtering for you: save the matter once, and you are shown your item, your court and your bench without meeting the rest of the document at all.
Court materials in Maharashtra commonly use the one-word form — causelist — while much of the rest of India writes it as two words. Advocates search both. The document behind either spelling is the same, and Lawgger matches either, so no search fails on a space.
What does need keeping apart is the kind of list:
See the cause list guide for how each of these behaves in practice, and advocate-wise lists for pulling everything listed against your name on a date.
Distance is the ordinary reason a listing is missed in this state — not forgetfulness. Nagpur to Mumbai is not a morning's decision.
Add it by CNR or case number once. Lawgger does not care which sitting it belongs to, and neither should you after that point.
When the causelist for any sitting names your matter, you are told — the sitting, the court number, the bench and the item number — the same evening, wherever you happen to be.
A listing at a distant bench found at 8 pm can still be covered. Found at 9 am it cannot. That single shift in timing is most of what this page is about.
Through court hours — typically 10:30 to 16:30 IST — the board shows which item each court is taking up right now. Item number and court number are the two fields that turn a plan into a decision: if your item is 30 and the court is on 9 at noon, you have time; if it is on 27, you do not.
Lawgger carries live boards for all 25 High Courts, the Supreme Court and the NCLT, NCLAT and CAT — 527 courts and 426 benches. For notation such as pass over, part heard and not reached, see the display board guide.
Panaji sits under the Bombay High Court, but Goa carries its own inherited body of local law in several fields — a fact any advocate who has moved between the Maharashtra sittings and the Goa bench learns quickly.
That is exactly the situation in which a good-law check earns its keep. An authority that is entirely sound for a Maharashtra matter may have no application, or a different application, to a Goa matter governed by a different enactment. Lawgger will not decide that question for you — it is a question of law, and it is yours. What it will do is tell you, for every authority you rely on, whether the case itself still stands: still good law, or overruled, doubted or displaced. See good-law checking.
2.07 crore Indian judgments in full text, covering the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, joined by 1.28 crore case-to-section links and 18 lakh citation links, and set against 1,607 central and state acts across all 37 jurisdictions.
Every answer is pin-cited to the page it came from. You open the judgment and read the passage in place — which is the only way to cite an authority you have not read cover to cover. See legal research, and how case status is followed for a matter still pending at any of the four sittings.
Lawgger holds 21 statutory limitation clocks. Give it the dates and it computes what remains, rolling past weekends, gazetted holidays and court vacations so the date you see is a working date. Where a filing will be out of time it raises a section 5 condonation flag. That is a computation on the dates you supply, not advice on your matter.
Use the limitation calculator, and see practice management for turning those dates into tasks a chamber can actually work to.
Yes. Lawgger carries causelists and live display boards for the Nagpur bench and the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar bench, formerly known as Aurangabad, on the same footing as the principal seat at Mumbai. One watchlist covers all of them, so a matter listed at a bench you are not sitting in today still reaches you.
Yes. The Panaji bench sits under the Bombay High Court and is covered like every other sitting: causelists for any date, the live display board through court hours, and CNR case tracking with a plain-words digest of each order. Judgments from the Goa bench are searchable in full text alongside the rest of the court's work.
Both are in daily use and both are correct in practice. Court materials in Maharashtra commonly use the one-word form, causelist, while much of the rest of India writes cause list as two words. The document is identical. Lawgger matches either spelling, so a search does not fail because of it.
Open the board in the Lawgger app. It runs live through court hours, roughly 10:30 to 16:30 IST, and shows the item being taken up in each court at each sitting. This marketing website does not show live court data; the boards are in the app, where you can watch Mumbai and a bench at the same time.
Yes. Save the CNR once and the matter stays tracked for its whole life, whichever sitting it is listed at. Every order that comes on the file is digested into plain words, and you are alerted when the matter is listed, adjourned, transferred or disposed. Case numbers and party names work too.
Yes. Bombay High Court judgments, including those delivered at Nagpur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Panaji, sit inside Lawgger's 2.07 crore full-text judgment coverage across the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts. Every answer is pin-cited to the page and every authority carries a good-law verdict.
