Before you search

What identifies a case

Four things can find a case in the court's records. Any one of them is enough, and they are not equally reliable — this is the order to try them in.

CNR number

16 characters, e.g. BRVS010012342024

The Case Number Record is permanent and unique to your case across all of India. It never changes — not when the case is transferred, not when it goes on appeal, not when the court reorganises its numbering. The first four characters identify the state and the court establishment, the next four the court hall, then a six-digit serial and the four-digit year. If you have this, nothing else is needed.

Printed on the filing receipt, on the first page of most orders, and on any cause list entry for your case. Your advocate's clerk will have it.

Case number

e.g. Title Suit 245/2023

The registration number given when the case was admitted, made up of a case type, a serial number and a year. It is unique only within one court establishment, so it must always be used together with the district and the court.

On the summons, on the vakalatnama, and on every order sheet.

Party name

e.g. Sunita Devi

Court records store names exactly as they were typed at filing — including spelling variants, missing surnames and initials in place of full names. Searching by name works, but expect to scan several results, and try a shorter fragment before concluding a case does not exist.

Use the petitioner's, respondent's, complainant's or accused's name as it appears on the papers.

Advocate name

e.g. Ram Snehi Mishra

Every case carries the name of the advocate on record. If you know who is appearing but not the case number, this is often the fastest route back to your file.

On the vakalatnama you signed, and in the appearance column of the cause list.

Reading the result

What the record shows

Next hearing dateThe date the case is next listed, together with the purpose of listing — appearance, framing of issues, evidence, arguments, or judgment. The purpose tells you whether your attendance is actually required.
Case stageWhere the matter stands procedurally. "Pending" alone means little; the stage tells you whether pleadings are complete, whether evidence has begun, and how much of the case is left.
Orders & judgmentsEvery interim order, interlocutory application and final judgment recorded on the file, with its date. An order that does not appear here has usually not yet been uploaded rather than not been passed.
Disposal statusWhether the case is pending or disposed, and if disposed, the date and the nature of disposal. A disposal does not always mean a decision on merits — settlement, withdrawal and default disposals all appear the same way at a glance.

A record is not a substitute for the file. Orders are uploaded after the day's business and can lag; an entry that reads "disposed" may be a settlement, a withdrawal or a dismissal for default, which are very different outcomes. If anything on the record matters to a decision you are about to take, have it read properly.

Bihar

Case status by district court

All thirty-eight districts of Bihar, grouped by revenue division. Each page explains where that district's judiciary actually sits — which is not always the town the district is named after — and searches the same live records.

Questions

Case status: common questions

Enter your 16-character CNR number in the search box on this page, or search by the name of a party or the advocate on record. The tracker queries the eCourts records maintained by the district judiciary and returns the current stage, the next hearing date, the complete hearing history and the orders on file. It covers every district court in Bihar — Patna, Muzaffarpur, Vaishali (Hajipur), Gaya, Darbhanga, Bhagalpur, Purnia and the rest — and works for courts across India as well.

CNR stands for Case Number Record. It is a permanent 16-character code that uniquely identifies your case anywhere in India — for example BRVS010012342024. It is printed on your filing receipt, on the first page of most orders, and against your case in the daily cause list. Unlike a case number, a CNR never changes, even if the case is transferred to another court.

Yes. Search by the name of any party to the case, or by the name of the advocate on record. Court records store names exactly as they were entered at the time of filing, so try a shorter fragment of the name if the full spelling returns nothing — "Sunita" will often find a case that "Sunita Devi Singh" does not.

Yes. The tracker is free, needs no registration and no login. It reads the same public records that the judiciary publishes through the eCourts system, and nothing you search for is stored on this website.

Records are fetched live at the moment you search, so you see exactly what the court's own system holds. Bear in mind that the courts themselves update entries after the day's proceedings — an order passed this morning may appear only later in the day, or the next working day.

The usual causes are a mistyped CNR, a name spelt differently in the record than on your papers, a case filed under a district name that differs from the town where the court sits (Saran rather than Chhapra, Rohtas rather than Sasaram), or a very recently filed matter that has not yet been digitised. Try the party name instead of the CNR, then the advocate's name. If it still does not appear, the filing counter of the court concerned can confirm the correct number.

No. This tracker is a free public utility. Using it does not make you a client of Advocate Ram Snehi Mishra and does not amount to legal advice. If you want your case reviewed and advised on, book a consultation with the chamber.

The tracker covers case records published through the eCourts system, which is strongest for the district judiciary. High Court matters carry their own numbering and are best checked on the Patna High Court's own portal. If you have the CNR, try it here first — many High Court records are available through the same system.

The record says pending. What does that mean for you?

A case number and a next date tell you where a file sits, not what to do about it. Bring the papers to the chamber and get a straight answer on your position and your options.
