Bombay High Court
The principal seat at Mumbai, on both the Original Side and the Appellate Side, with the writ, commercial, company and arbitration work that follows from it. Bombay High Court page.
A Bombay Original Side practice is not won in the library. It is won on documents that were settled properly, deadlines that were counted properly, and a file that was ready when the matter was reached. Research is necessary. It is not what the day is made of.
Bombay High Court work on the original and appellate sides, the City Civil and Sessions Court and the magistrate courts rarely fit one diary. Lawgger holds them in one watchlist — next-day cause lists, live boards in court hours, CNR digests, good-law-checked research, drafting and billing — for Rs 1,999 a month. The company sits in Jammu & Kashmir; no Mumbai office.
Mumbai is where India's commercial disputes, arbitrations, company matters and securities work concentrate, and the Bombay High Court is one of the few High Courts that still exercises ordinary original civil jurisdiction. That combination produces a particular kind of practice. The volume of work is in pleadings, affidavits, interim applications, discovery, undertakings and consent terms — documents that have to be right, and have to exist by a date. The case law matters when it matters, but a commercial matter is far more often lost to a missed period than to a missed judgment.
A research subscription answers the second problem and ignores the first. It will tell you what the law is on a point of limitation under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. It will not tell you that the period in your own matter expires on a Saturday during court vacation, that the draft has not been settled, that the client has not signed, or that nobody has raised a fee note since March. Those are the four things that actually consume a Mumbai chamber, and they are the reason this page is organised around drafting and deadlines first, and causelists second — the reverse of how we write the Delhi page.
Lawgger tracks 21 statutory limitation clocks. The point is not the number; it is the arithmetic underneath it. A period counted from the wrong trigger date is wrong from the first day. A period that lands on a Sunday, a gazetted holiday or a court vacation has to roll, and rolling it correctly requires knowing which holidays that particular court keeps. And a period that has expired is not automatically fatal, but it changes what you file — so the system flags where a section 5 condonation application will be needed rather than quietly assuming one will be granted.
In a Mumbai practice the clocks that earn their keep are the arbitration ones and the commercial-suit ones: the period for a challenge to an award, the periods that govern applications under the arbitration statute, the timelines a commercial suit imposes on written statements and disclosure. These are short, they are counted strictly, and they are the periods where a chamber carrying forty live matters loses one to an oversight rather than to an argument. The clock sits on the matter, not in a diary that somebody has to remember to open. See the limitation calculator, and how deadlines connect to the rest of the caseload on Courts, Live.
Most drafting software gives you a blank template and leaves the hard part where it was. Lawgger works the other way round. You say what you need. It turns that into an intake form asking for the facts the document actually requires — parties, dates, the clause relied on, the relief — and produces a finished draft from those answers. You then edit it as an advocate, which is the only part that was ever really yours.
Behind it sit 3,500+ Indian formats across 61 categories, covering the ordinary run of pleadings, applications, notices, agreements and conveyancing documents an Indian practice uses. Around it sit document tools that matter more in a paper-heavy Original Side practice than they sound: OCR for the scanned annexure a client sends as a photograph, stamping, compression for a filing that is over a size limit, and format conversion. Everything a chamber uploads goes into a private vault belonging to that chamber alone, never shared across firms, and never used as AI training data.

The principal seat at Mumbai, on both the Original Side and the Appellate Side, with the writ, commercial, company and arbitration work that follows from it. Bombay High Court page.
The city's principal civil and sessions forum, and where a large part of an ordinary Mumbai litigation practice is conducted day to day.
Criminal work across Greater Mumbai, including the cheque-dishonour docket that keeps a great many chambers in steady work.
Insolvency and company matters. The board is carried alongside NCLAT and CAT, so an insolvency listing and a High Court item appear in one watchlist.
Mumbai counsel are briefed at the Bombay High Court's other benches often enough that leaving them out would make the product useless. All are covered.
527 courts and 426 benches, ~700 district courts across 722 districts. A Mumbai chamber with a matter in another state does not fall off the edge.
Bombay writes it as one word, causelist, and the rhythm is familiar to anyone who practises here: the advance list, then the daily list published the evening before, then the supplementary list and the additions that arrive late and change the shape of the morning. Reading all of that properly is a job. Lawgger does it against your matters, so what you get is not a list to read but an answer: this is listed, before this bench, at this serial.
From the start of court hours the live display board runs — broadly 10:30 to 16:30 IST — showing what is being taken up. On the Original Side, where a board can move quickly through short matters and then stall on a long one, that is the difference between waiting usefully and waiting blindly. You can also search a causelist for any court on any date by party name, advocate name or case number.
Honestly stated: this website cannot show you a live board or a causelist. Those run inside the app, against official court records, and only during court hours. Read about causelist search, causelist by advocate and live display boards.
When research is needed in a commercial matter it is usually needed precisely: one proposition, one line of authority, and certainty that the line still holds. Lawgger carries 2.07 crore judgments in full text from the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, pins every answer to the page it came from, and puts a verdict on every authority — still good law, or overruled. Behind that sit 1.28 crore case-to-section links and 18 lakh citation links.
Authority Check is the piece a Mumbai chamber uses before a brief goes to a senior. Paste the brief; get back a Table of Authorities with a verdict against each entry. It takes the tedious half of a junior's evening and returns it as a list you can act on. See research, good-law checking and Authority Check. Lawgger does not replace a court-accepted reporter's headnotes or pagination, and we say so on the comparison pages rather than pretending otherwise.
Research subscriptions in India were priced for institutions with a library budget. SCC Online, Manupatra and LexisNexis are commonly quoted to Indian chambers between Rs 1.5 lakh and Rs 3 lakh a year for research alone. Add a diary application, a billing application and whatever a chamber uses to track deadlines, and the annual figure moves again — and none of those things talk to each other.
Lawgger is Rs 1,999 a month, or Rs 19,999 a year, about Rs 66 a day, and that carries research, causelists, boards, CNR tracking, 21 limitation clocks, drafting and GST billing in one subscription. No per-seat charge, no lock-in, a GST invoice for the subscription itself, Razorpay for payment. Do the comparison properly on pricing and what legal research costs in India.
The Bombay High Court works in English. A good deal of what feeds it does not. Statements are recorded in Marathi, clients explain a transaction in Gujarati or Hindi, and a document handed across a table in a City Civil matter is as likely to be in Marathi as not. Lawgger works in 10 Indian languages, so a question can be asked in the language it occurred to you in, and the answer still points at the English text of the judgment you have to cite. See Lawgger AI.
Yes. Causelists, the live display board and CNR case tracking cover the Bombay High Court at its principal seat in Mumbai, on both the Original Side and the Appellate Side. Research covers the court's judgments in full text as part of 2.07 crore judgments from the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, each answer pin-cited to the page.
Yes. Lawgger carries live display boards for the NCLT, the NCLAT and the CAT alongside the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts. For a Mumbai practice that runs insolvency and company matters, that means a NCLT listing and a Bombay High Court item can sit in the same watchlist instead of being followed in two different places.
