A very large court with a very large list, where the difference between checking and being told is most of a working evening.
The Delhi High Court cause list is the order of business for a hearing day, published by the court on the evening before it. Supplementary items can be added later that night or on the hearing morning. You can search a published list by party name, advocate name, case number or CNR — the last two being exact, the first two approximate.
The list for a hearing day is published on the evening before it. There is no fixed clock time to rely on, which is the first thing that makes habitual checking unreliable.
An advance list gives earlier notice of what is expected. A supplementary list carries items added after the daily list went out — later that night, or on the hearing morning. A matter that was not listed at 9 pm can be listed at 10 am, and in a court of this size that happens routinely.
Which is the whole argument for alerts. Save the matter once and the list finds you — court, bench, item — the evening it is published, and again if a supplementary item names it.
Party and advocate names are typed by hand. Spellings vary, initials come and go, and a company's name may appear three ways across three lists. Name search is genuinely useful, but treat it as approximate.
A case number is exact. A CNR is better still: it is a permanent 16-character identifier that does not change when the case number or year of registration does, so a matter stays findable for its whole life.

Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Patiala House, Rohini, Dwarka, Saket and Rouse Avenue each publish their own lists. A Delhi practice frequently spans two of them in a day, plus the High Court.
Lawgger covers around 700 district courts alongside the High Courts, so all of it sits in one place with the same alerts and the same plain-words order digests. See practice management for turning those dates into work a chamber can track.
The list for a hearing day is ordinarily published on the evening before it. There is no fixed clock time, and supplementary items sometimes follow later that night or on the hearing morning.
Name search works but is approximate, because party and advocate names are typed by hand and spellings vary. A case number or CNR is exact and should be preferred where you have one.
It carries items added after the daily list was published. A matter absent from the evening list can appear on a supplementary list on the hearing morning, so both need reading.
