Jharkhand High Court case status
Check Jharkhand High Court case status by case number or by party name. The court sits at Ranchi and hears the whole state from there, so there is no bench to choose.
The court was created in 2000 when Jharkhand separated from Bihar. Anything filed before that is on the Patna High Court record.

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. there's only one seat, at Ranchi, so there's nothing to pick.
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.
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. Find your case above, then track it and we'll tell you when it's next listed.

Questions
The things people ask us.
How do I check Jharkhand High Court case status?
Search by case number with its type and filing year, or by party name with the year. The court has a single seat at Ranchi.
Is the Ranchi High Court the same as the Jharkhand High Court?
Yes. There is no separate Ranchi High Court. The Jharkhand High Court sits at Ranchi and people use the city name for it.
Where are pre-2000 Jharkhand cases?
With the Patna High Court. Jharkhand was part of Bihar until November 2000, and matters filed before the separation stayed on the Patna record.
Does the Jharkhand High Court have a cause list?
Yes, published for the next working day. What this page searches is the case register, which returns the case identity and its parties.

If this isn't your court
Where to look instead.
Filed somewhere else? Patna High Court, Calcutta High Court and Orissa High Court sit next door. If you are not sure which High Court a case belongs to, our High Court case status page for all 25 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 district court case status, 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.
