Siwan District Court — Case Status Online
Check the status of any case before the District & Sessions Court, Siwan. Search by CNR number, by the name of a party, or by the advocate on record, and see the next hearing date, the stage the case has reached, the full hearing history and the orders on file.
Siwan's district judiciary sits at Siwan town, serving a district with heavy migration abroad — which makes service of summons and representation by power of attorney a recurring procedural issue.
Checking a Siwan case, step by step
- Find your CNR. The 16-character CNR number is printed on your filing receipt, on the first page of most orders, and against your case in the cause list. It is permanent and unique across India, so it is the fastest and most reliable route.
- Enter it above. Type or paste it into the search box on this page and choose CNR number. Spaces and case do not matter.
- No CNR? Search by name. Switch to Party name and enter the petitioner, respondent, complainant or accused as the name appears on the papers. If nothing comes back, try a shorter fragment — records store names exactly as they were typed at filing, initials and misspellings included.
- Still nothing? Try the advocate. Every case carries the name of the advocate on record. Searching that name will usually surface the file even when the party name has been recorded differently.
Which court hears a Siwan matter
The district judiciary for Siwan sits at Siwan: the District & Sessions Court, the courts of the civil judges, the judicial magistrates, and the Family Court where one has been established. Siwan falls within the Saran Division of Bihar. Appeals and revisions from the district judiciary lie to the Patna High Court, which has its own case numbering — so a matter that has gone up on appeal will have both a district case number and a High Court one.
Where a case has been transferred between courts, the case number changes but the CNR does not. That is exactly what the CNR exists for, and it is why it is worth writing down once and keeping.
What it costs to file at Siwan
