A state where institutions sit in layers. A practice here needs the statute book as much as the judgment library — and Lawgger carries both.
The High Court of Meghalaya sits at Shillong and serves Meghalaya. It was established on 23 March 2013. Lawgger carries its cause lists for any date, the live display board through court hours, and CNR case tracking with a plain-words digest of every order.
Meghalaya's legal landscape includes autonomous district council arrangements under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, alongside the ordinary machinery of state government and the courts. That is a structural fact about this state and its neighbours, and it is where this page stops: the scope of what any particular council does, and how customary practice operates in any given area, is not something a marketing page should be characterising.
The practical point for an advocate is narrower and safer to state. Where institutions sit in layers, the material you need is not concentrated in the reported judgments. It sits in state legislation, in local enactments, in provisions that a national research product built around Supreme Court and metropolitan High Court case law will treat as marginal — because for its largest customers, they are.
So the question worth asking a research tool in Shillong is not how many judgments it holds. It is whether its statute book is real. Lawgger carries 1,607 central and state acts across all 37 jurisdictions, joined to the case law by 1.28 crore case-to-section links, so a provision and the decisions that turn on it arrive together rather than requiring two separate hunts and a hope. See legal research and the legal glossary.
Advance, daily and supplementary lists for the High Court of Meghalaya, for any date you ask for.
The advance list tells you a matter is coming in the days ahead. The daily list is the board for a hearing day. Supplementary items are added afterwards, often in the evening, and they are the ones that catch a chamber out — because a list already read once tends not to be read again.
Lawgger holds all three, for any date including past dates, and lets you search them by party name, advocate name or case number. Then it lets you stop searching: save a matter to your watchlist and Lawgger finds it in every list it appears in and tells you the court number and item number, including when the addition comes late at night.
See advocate-wise cause lists for pulling a whole day under one name, and the cause list guide for how the three list types differ.
Through court hours — roughly 10:30 to 16:30 IST — the display board shows which item is being taken up in each court, with the court number, moving as the court moves. The list gives you a position; the board gives you a pace.
Pass over means your matter will be taken again later in the day. Part heard means the bench is already committed. Not reached means the day closed before your number came up. Knowing which of the three you are looking at, while the court is still sitting, is what lets you plan the rest of the afternoon rather than react to it.
Lawgger carries live boards for the Supreme Court, all 25 High Courts and the NCLT, NCLAT and CAT — 527 courts, 426 benches. They run in the app; this website does not show live court data. See the display board guide.
Before 23 March 2013, matters arising in Meghalaya were heard by the Gauhati High Court. Those decisions did not stop mattering when this court was established; they are still argued, still relied on, and still the answer to a good many questions that have not come up again since.
Both bodies of decisions sit inside Lawgger's 2.07 crore full-text judgments, across the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, with no cut-off at the 2013 line. A search returns Meghalaya and Gauhati decisions in the same result set, each pin-cited to the page so you open the judgment and read the passage in place.
Every authority also carries a good-law verdict — still good law, or overruled, doubted or otherwise displaced. Paste a draft brief in and Authority Check returns a Table of Authorities with a verdict against each case cited, before it is filed rather than after. See good-law checking and why a pin-cited answer matters.
1,607 central and state acts across 37 jurisdictions, linked to the judgments that turn on them.
One search across both, with no artificial line drawn at the date this court was established.
Overruled and doubted decisions are marked as such, at the draft stage rather than at the podium.
Lawgger covers around 700 district courts nationally, across 722 districts in 35 states and union territories, with cause lists for any of them on any date. Case tracking is by CNR, and every order that comes on a tracked file is digested into plain words you can forward to a client without editing — interim stay granted; counter due in four weeks. See what a CNR number is and case status checking.
Most High Court work at Shillong runs in English. A great deal of what precedes it does not — instructions, local proceedings and the ordinary conversation of a matter frequently happen in Khasi or Garo, and an advocate here spends part of every week moving between languages without remarking on it.
Lawgger works in 10 Indian languages: you can put a question in one and read the answer in it, while the judgment behind the answer stays in its original language so nothing shifts in translation at the point where a word decides the case. The current list of supported languages is shown in the app. See how the assistant works.
Lawgger holds 21 statutory limitation clocks. Supply the dates and it computes the running period, shows what remains, and rolls past weekends, gazetted holidays and court vacations, with an application under section 5 flagged rather than assumed. It is a computation on the dates you give it — not advice, and no substitute for your own reading of the Limitation Act. Try the limitation calculator.
The High Court of Meghalaya was established on 23 March 2013, on the same day as the High Courts of Manipur and Tripura. It sits at Shillong and serves the State of Meghalaya. Before that date, matters arising in Meghalaya were heard by the Gauhati High Court.
The Gauhati High Court. Its decisions from before 23 March 2013 remain part of the working authority for a Meghalaya practice, alongside the decisions this court has delivered since. Lawgger carries both in full text within the same 2.07 crore judgment coverage, so a search returns them together.
Yes. Lawgger carries 1,607 central and state acts across all 37 jurisdictions, so state legislation is part of the statute book rather than an afterthought. Statutory provisions are joined to the case law by 1.28 crore case-to-section links, which means a section and the decisions turning on it arrive together instead of requiring two separate searches.
Yes, inside the Lawgger app. The board runs live through court hours, roughly 10:30 to 16:30 IST, and shows which item is being taken up in each court. Lawgger carries live boards for the Supreme Court, all 25 High Courts and the NCLT, NCLAT and CAT. This marketing website does not show live court data; the boards are in the app.
The list for a hearing day is published on the evening before it, and supplementary items can be added later the same night. There is no fixed clock time to rely on. Lawgger shows the list as soon as the court publishes it and alerts you when a matter on your watchlist appears, so a late addition is not missed.
Yes. Lawgger covers around 700 district courts nationally, across 722 districts in 35 states and union territories, and gives you the cause list for any of them on any date. Meghalaya's district courts are included, with the same search by party name, advocate name or case number and the same CNR case tracking.
