When is the cause list published?

Most district courts publish the next day's cause list by 5–7 PM the previous working day. High courts vary — Delhi HC typically publishes by evening the previous day. Always check again on the morning of the hearing for any last-minute revisions.

My case isn't on today's cause list — what does that mean?

Cases may not be listed because they were adjourned to a different date, a fresh cause list hasn't been published yet, or there was a data upload lag. Check the case status tool with your CNR to confirm the next hearing date, and if in doubt contact your advocate or the court filing counter directly.

What is the serial number on the cause list?

The serial number (S.No.) is your case's position in the day's hearing order. Cases with lower serial numbers are typically heard earlier in the day, though this varies by court and judge — supplementary lists and priority matters can change the order. Arrive early regardless of serial number.
