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 Chandigarh, 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.

Questions
The things people ask us.
What does PHHC stand for?
PHHC is the common abbreviation for the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh. The registry and the eCourts record both use it, which is why it turns up in case numbers and e-diary references.
How do I check PHHC case status by case number?
Select the case type (CWP, CRM, RSA and so on), enter the case number and filing year. The case type is part of the identity of the case: CWP 1234 of 2024 and CRM 1234 of 2024 are unrelated matters.
Is Chandigarh High Court the same as Punjab and Haryana High Court?
Yes. There is no separate Chandigarh High Court. The Punjab and Haryana High Court sits in Chandigarh and has jurisdiction over Punjab, Haryana and the UT of Chandigarh.
Where is the Punjab & Haryana High Court cause list?
The registry publishes it for the following working day, listing each case against its court number and bench. Find your case above, then track it and we'll tell you when it's next listed.
Is the Chandigarh High Court a separate court?
No. Chandigarh is where the Punjab and Haryana High Court sits. One court serves Punjab, Haryana and the union territory of Chandigarh from that single seat.
Elsewhere
Other High Courts.
If this isn't your court
Where to look instead.
Filed somewhere else? Delhi High Court, Himachal Pradesh High Court and Rajasthan 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.
