Court case tracking across India, by name rather than by case number.
Add a party to your watchlist once. When a new matter involving that name reaches the record at any Indian court, the alert comes to you, instead of somebody having to remember to search for it again next month.
What it does
Monitoring, not searching
The difference is that a search tells you about today and a watchlist keeps telling you.
Watch any party by name
A client, a counterparty, opposing counsel, or any entity under diligence. When a matter involving that name surfaces at an Indian court, you hear about it without anyone running the search again.
Across the court structure, not one court
The Supreme Court, all 25 High Courts, District Courts and tribunals, on one watchlist rather than eleven separate portal logins and eleven separate CAPTCHAs.
Delivered where you already are
In app, by email and on WhatsApp, with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Outlook and Google Calendar among the integrations, and webhooks to push filing and matter events into your own systems.
Private to your organisation
Only you and your own team see who you are watching. The list of names a practice monitors is itself sensitive information about its clients and its matters, and it is treated that way.
Coverage
What is watched, stated precisely
Coverage claims in this market are usually a single impressive number. Here is the shape of it instead.
The underlying corpus is 315.6 million court records taken from official government portals, spanning the Supreme Court, all 25 High Courts, the district judiciary and tribunals. Watching runs over that record.
District Court tracking is live in: Delhi, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Kerala, Punjab and Chandigarh. More states are added each quarter. If the districts you litigate in are not on that list yet, that is worth knowing before you buy rather than after.
The breakdown by court and by year, including where coverage genuinely thins out, is published on the coverage page rather than summarised into one headline figure.
Two watchlists, and only one of them is live
The watchlist in the application. Live today. It is what this page describes and what you get when you sign up.
The watchlist endpoints on the developer API. Not live. The changes feed, the watchlist endpoints and webhook delivery are listed on the API pricing page as indicative pricing so integrators can plan for them, and they carry a not yet available marker everywhere they appear.
We are spelling this out because a pricing table that lists an endpoint reads like a shipped endpoint, and building an integration against something that does not exist yet is an expensive way to find out.
Who it is for
Three people who need to know first
Litigation practices
Know when a client is sued before the client calls you about it, and when a matter you are watching escalates from the district judiciary to a High Court. The next date lives on the matter file rather than in a diary somebody has to remember to open.
In-house legal and compliance
Track the entities that create exposure for the business: group companies, key vendors, distributors, and the counterparties on your larger contracts. A new filing against a major supplier is commercial information, not just legal information.
Credit, risk and diligence teams
Monitor a borrower, an investee or an acquisition target over time rather than screening once at onboarding and never looking again. Litigation exposure changes after the diligence memo is signed off.
The difference
The alternative is a person and a CAPTCHA
India has no public bulk feed of court filings. The official portals put a CAPTCHA on every search and offer no API and no bulk download, and each High Court runs its own site with its own structure. So the default way to track a party is that somebody types the name into several portals, several times a week, forever, and the quality of your monitoring is the quality of that person's week.
That approach fails quietly rather than loudly. Nobody reports the search they did not run. The first sign of a gap is usually the matter you should have known about a month ago.
Watching by name changes what has to happen for you to find out. Nobody has to remember, and nobody has to be at their desk. The trade, stated honestly in the limits below, is that a name match is not a verified identity and silence is not proof of a clean record.
Honest limits
What tracking cannot promise
A monitoring product that oversells its certainty is worse than no monitoring product, because you stop checking.
- Nothing can reach you before the registry publishes it. The speed claim is about the gap between publication and your notification, not between filing and publication, and registries publish unevenly across courts.
- District Court tracking is live for a defined set of states, listed on this page, with more added each quarter. It is not yet every district in India.
- How many courts one account can watch at once scales by plan: one court on the entry tier, up to three on the professional tier, unlimited on enterprise.
- A match is a court record bearing a name, not a verified identity. Common personal and corporate names will surface matters that are not your party.
- Silence is not a clean record. No alert means nothing matching your watched name appeared in the corpus as filtered, not that nothing was filed anywhere.
- Name based search in India is subject to court ordered restrictions on specified records, and CourtMesh honours every de-indexing and masking order that applies to it. A restricted record is withheld.

Your three largest clients and your two most litigious counterparties. If nothing comes back in a month, you have lost nothing. If something does, you found out first.
