Before you search
Four things, and all four have to be right.
Get one wrong and you get an empty result, not an error. That's what makes these searches so frustrating.
- Case type. The same number goes out under every type each year. A writ petition and a criminal appeal can both be 1234.
- Case number. The number allotted when the case was registered.
- Year. When it was filed, not the year of your next hearing.
- Bench. this court sits in 4 places, and each keeps its own register. They're listed below.
Worth keeping to hand: your CNR, the 16-character code printed on every order and filing receipt. It never changes, so it's the thing to quote when you deal with the registry, and it's what a district court search takes as its key.
Benches
Pick the right seat, or you'll find nothing.
Each bench of the Gauhati High Court keeps its own register and its own cause list. A case filed at one simply doesn't appear in a search of another, and that, far more than anything else, is why a search you're sure should work comes back empty.
- Principal Seat at Guwahati
- Kohima Bench
- Aizawl Bench
- Itanagar Bench
Cause list
Where your case falls in the day.
The registry publishes the next day's running order each evening: court number, bench, and where your matter sits in the list. Each bench publishes its own. Find your case above, then track it and we'll tell you when it's next listed.

If this isn't your court
Where to look instead.
Filed somewhere else? Meghalaya High Court, Tripura High Court and Manipur High Court sit next door. If you are not sure which High Court a case belongs to, High Court case status for every bench is the place to start, and the seat is decided by where the case was filed rather than where you live.
A matter below the High Court will not be on this register at all. For those, use the district court case status search, which also accepts a CNR.
We read the public eCourts record, so this is only as current as the registry has published. If something turns on a deadline or a limitation period, check with the registry or your advocate. Don't rely on us for that. If it's the law itself you need, the bare acts are here in full.
