About the daily cause list
A cause list is the official daily roster published by every Indian court — the High Courts, the Supreme Court of India, district courts, family courts, consumer forums (DCDRC, SCDRC, NCDRC), labour courts, sessions courts, criminal courts and tribunals such as the DRT and NCLT. It tells advocates and litigants which matters are listed for hearing on a given date, before which judge, in which courtroom, and at what serial number. This page lets you check the daily cause list of high court registries and district courts, the supreme court cause list today, and tomorrow's listings — all in one place.
High Court cause lists
For the Delhi High Court daily cause list, use the official portal at delhihighcourt.nic.in. The cause list is published by the previous evening and supplementary lists are added through the day. For other high courts — Bombay, Madras, Calcutta, Allahabad, Karnataka, Kerala, Punjab and Haryana, AP, Telangana, J&K, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Patna, Orissa — the daily cause list is published on the respective court's portal and on the National Judicial Data Grid. The same data feeds the search above.
Supreme Court cause list
The Supreme Court of India cause list is published on sci.gov.in. The Display Board (live, court-by-court) is the most reliable source for day-of-hearing changes. The Main Cause List, Supplementary List, Mini Cause List and the Online Cause List are all available on the portal. Listings are usually finalised the previous evening; matters before Vacation Benches and Roster changes are notified separately.
District court & tribunal cause lists
All Delhi district complexes — Saket, Patiala House, Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Rohini, Dwarka and Rouse Avenue — publish daily cause lists on the eCourts services portal. Family court cause list, civil court cause list, criminal court cause list, session court cause list and labour court cause list are available for district-level courts. Tribunal listings — DRT cause list, NCLT, ITAT, NCDRC and SCDRC — are on each tribunal's own portal.

Frequently asked questions
What is a cause list?
A cause list is the daily court schedule showing which matters are listed for hearing — the case number, parties, advocates, the bench, the courtroom and the serial number for the day. Cause lists are typically published by the evening of the previous working day.
How do I find the high court cause list today?
Pick today's date in the date strip above and choose your state. The search returns matters listed today across the courts whose data is integrated. For the official, judge-wise daily cause list of high court registries, use the portal links provided.
Can I check tomorrow's cause list?
Yes. Tomorrow's cause list is usually published from about 6 PM IST onwards on the previous evening. Pick tomorrow's date in the picker — if listings have been published, they will appear.
Is "case list high court" the same as "cause list"?
In everyday usage, yes. Strictly, "cause list" is the formal term used by every Indian court for the daily, dated, courtroom-wise roster of matters listed for hearing. "Case list" is colloquial and is used interchangeably.
Where is the Supreme Court cause list today published?
On sci.gov.in — the Main Cause List, Supplementary, Mini Cause List, Online Cause List and Display Board are all linked on the homepage. Use the Display Board for live court-by-court status during the working day.
Why is my matter not showing in the cause list?
A matter may not be listed because (i) it has not yet been listed for the date you selected, (ii) the court has not published the list yet, (iii) the matter has been adjourned and re-fixed, or (iv) the eCourts feed has not synced. Confirm on the official court portal and, in urgent matters, with the registry.
May 2026 update: cause list plus case status workflow
For hearing preparation, do not stop at the cause list. First confirm the case status and last order, then check the daily cause list for the court number and item number, and finally check the display board on the day of hearing where available. This is especially important for Delhi High Court supplementary lists, Supreme Court mini lists and district-court matters that move between courtrooms because of administrative changes.
The supporting guides on the Delhi High Court daily cause list, Supreme Court cause list today and Delhi courts cause list checker now explain the official-source workflow in more detail.
