One court, a docket that reaches every subject in the country, and a list that decides your morning. Lawgger carries it, from the evening it is published to the moment your item is called.
Lawgger gives Supreme Court advocates the cause list for any date, the live display board through court hours, and case tracking by diary or case number with a plain-words digest of every order. The Supreme Court's full judgment text is part of Lawgger's 2.07 crore judgment coverage, and every authority is checked for good law.
The Supreme Court is the one court in India where a single advocate may carry matters from every subject and every state at once — a service matter from Guwahati, a tax appeal from Ahmedabad, a criminal special leave petition from Nagpur, all in the same week. Nothing binds them together except the list.
That makes the working rhythm here list-driven rather than matter-driven. A High Court practice is organised around files: you know roughly when your writ will come up because you know the bench and the roster. A Supreme Court practice is organised around the evening the list drops. Until it does, you do not know which of thirty pending matters will need you tomorrow, which brief needs re-reading tonight, or whether a client in another city needs a telephone call before ten o'clock.
The practical difficulty is timing. The list is published in the evening, and by the evening most advocates are not at a desk. They are in traffic, in a conference, at home. Opening a long document on a phone, pinching to zoom, and scrolling past hundreds of items looking for one party name is not reading a list — it is hoping.
Lawgger removes that step. You tell it once which matters are yours. From then on, when the court publishes, the app tells you: you are listed tomorrow, Court 7, item 34, before this bench. If a supplementary item is added later the same night, you are told that too. See the cause list guide for how advance, daily and supplementary lists differ.
The same number of items can mean two entirely different mornings, depending on which kind of day the court is having.
The Supreme Court has long kept certain weekdays for fresh and miscellaneous matters and the remaining days for regular hearing matters. That convention is the single most important thing to know before you read a Supreme Court list, because it changes what the numbers mean.
On a miscellaneous day, the board is long. Fresh petitions come up for admission, and many are decided in a few minutes each — notice issued, dismissed, tagged, adjourned. A board of a hundred items can move at a pace that puts item 60 in the court's hands well before lunch. Being far down the list is no comfort at all.
On a regular hearing day, the board is short and slow. A part-heard matter can hold a bench for a full day, or several. Item 4 on a regular board may not be reached in the week it was listed. Being high on the list is no guarantee either.
An advocate who reads a hundred-item board as though it were a regular board will arrive late. An advocate who reads a six-item board as though it were miscellaneous will spend three days waiting. This is why the live display board matters more at this court than almost anywhere else: it tells you the actual pace, item by item, while the court is sitting.
Rosters and sitting arrangements are revised from time to time. Check the court's own notified roster for the current week — Lawgger shows you the list as published, and does not second-guess it.
Everything an advocate needs from a Supreme Court list sits in three fields. Lawgger surfaces those three and leaves the rest of the document alone.
Which Hon'ble Judges are sitting on your matter. Combinations change as sitting arrangements are revised, and a matter that was before one combination last month can be before another tomorrow. Read this first, because it governs how you prepare, not merely where you stand.
Which courtroom in the building. Trivial until you have two matters listed the same morning in two different courts, which at this court is ordinary rather than unusual. Lawgger shows both listings side by side so the clash is visible the previous evening, not at 10:32 the next morning.
Where you sit in the order for that bench. Item numbers are per bench, so item 12 before one court has nothing to do with item 12 before another. Combined with the kind of day the court is having, this is the only honest estimate of when you will be reached.
Lawgger does not ask you to scroll for any of this. Save a matter once and the app finds it in every list it appears in, and shows you the three fields on one card. For the notation you will meet on the board itself — pass over, part heard, not reached — see the display board guide. For finding your listings by advocate name rather than case number, see advocate-wise cause lists.
The Supreme Court is the court where a matter has one identity before it is numbered and another afterwards. Most tracking breaks at exactly that point.
A matter filed here is first given a diary number. It is scrutinised, defects are raised and cured, and only then is it registered and given a case number — a special leave petition number, a civil or criminal appeal number, a writ petition number. The diary number is how the matter is known for the whole of that first, most anxious stretch.
The gap is where clients ask the question you cannot yet answer: has it been numbered? And it is where most reminder systems fail, because they were built around a case number that does not exist yet.
Lawgger tracks the diary number from the day it is issued and carries the same watchlist entry forward when the case number arrives. You do not re-enter anything. The history stays in one place: filed, defects, cured, registered, numbered, listed.
Every order that comes on the file is then digested into plain words, in a line you can send to a client without editing:

The Supreme Court's judgments are the spine of every argument made in every court below it, which is why depth and accuracy matter more here than anywhere else. Lawgger carries 2.07 crore Indian judgments in full text — the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts — with 1.28 crore case-to-section links and 18 lakh citation links joining them.
Every answer Lawgger gives is pin-cited to the page. Not a paraphrase with a case name attached, but a citation you can open and read in place, in the judgment, in context. That is the only standard worth having when the authority is going to be read out to a bench.
And every authority carries a good-law verdict. An older Supreme Court decision may have been overruled by a larger bench, distinguished into irrelevance, or displaced by statute. Lawgger checks each one and says so. See good-law checking for how the verdicts are arrived at, and legal research for the wider product. If you are weighing tools, the comparison of Indian legal research tools sets out what each one does.
Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, in full text — not headnotes, not summaries. 1,607 central and state acts across all 37 jurisdictions sit alongside them.
Each proposition points to the page it came from. You verify before you cite, which is the difference between research and a plausible sentence.
Paste a brief and get back a Table of Authorities with a verdict against each case cited. Overruled authority is caught at the draft stage, not at the podium.
The clock that governs most of this court's incoming work is the period for a special leave petition against a High Court judgment, which is ordinarily ninety days from the date of the judgment, with the time properly taken in obtaining a certified copy excluded from that reckoning. Different articles apply to different kinds of petition and appeal, and the applicable one has to be identified for each matter.
Lawgger holds 21 statutory limitation clocks. You give it the impugned judgment's date and the copy dates; it computes the running period, shows what remains, and raises a section 5 condonation flag when a filing will need an application for condonation of delay. That is a computation the software performs on the dates you supply. It is not advice, and it does not replace your own reading of the Limitation Act for the matter in hand.
Supreme Court vacations, partial working days and holidays all move real deadlines, and they are the quiet reason a period an advocate believed was comfortable turns out not to be. Lawgger's clocks roll past weekends, gazetted holidays and court vacations automatically, so the date you are shown is a working date and not an arithmetical one.
Try the limitation calculator, and see practice management for how those dates become tasks with owners inside a chamber.
A Supreme Court practice is fed by the courts below it. Lawgger carries all of them — 527 courts, 426 benches.
Lawgger is software for advocates. It is not a law firm and gives no legal advice. Court information is shown as published in official court records.
The court publishes the list for a hearing day on the evening before that day. There is no fixed clock time you can rely on: the daily list goes out in the evening and supplementary items can follow later the same night. Lawgger shows the list as soon as the court publishes it, and pushes an alert if a matter you are watching appears.
Yes, inside the Lawgger app. The board runs live through court hours, roughly 10:30 to 16:30 IST, and shows the item number currently 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.
Add the diary number to your watchlist in the app. Lawgger follows the matter through registration and numbering, so when the diary number becomes a case number the same entry continues. Every order that comes on the file is summarised in plain words, and you get an alert when the matter is listed, adjourned or disposed.
Yes. Supreme Court judgments sit inside Lawgger's coverage of 2.07 crore Indian judgments in full text, alongside all 25 High Courts. Every answer is pin-cited to the page it came from, so you can open the judgment and read the passage in place rather than trusting a summary.
Yes. Every authority Lawgger surfaces carries a good-law verdict: still good law, or overruled, doubted or otherwise displaced. You can also paste a draft brief into Authority Check and get back a Table of Authorities with a verdict against each case you have cited, before it is filed rather than after.
Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial of the full product and no card is required to begin. After the trial Lawgger is Rs 1,999 a month or Rs 19,999 a year, and you can cancel at any time. See pricing.
No. Lawgger is software sold to advocates. It is not a law firm, it does not take instructions and it gives no legal advice. It shows court information as published in official court records and returns original judgments from real cases, pin-cited, for an advocate to read and apply.
Fourteen days free, no card. Rs 1,999 a month or Rs 19,999 a year after that, with GST invoices and cancellation whenever you like.
