Orissa High Court case status
Check Orissa High Court case status by case number or by party name. The court sits at Cuttack and hears the whole state from there.
The state is Odisha and the court is still styled Orissa, so both spellings turn up in searches and in filings. They are the same court.

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 Cuttack, 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.
Other names
Same court, different names.
People search the Orissa High Court as Odisha High Court, Cuttack High Court. They're all the same court, and this page covers every one of them.
Questions
The things people ask us.
Is it the Orissa High Court or the Odisha High Court?
The state was renamed Odisha in 2011 but the court kept its original style, so it is formally the Orissa High Court. Both spellings refer to the same court.
How do I check Orissa 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 Cuttack.
Does the Orissa High Court sit anywhere other than Cuttack?
No. It hears the entire state from Cuttack, so one search covers the court.
Elsewhere
Other High Courts.
If this isn't your court
Where to look instead.
Filed somewhere else? Calcutta High Court, Jharkhand High Court and Chhattisgarh 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.
