How to see your whole day in court at a glance
Verified against the live portal — 23 Jul 2026Sign in and the home screen answers the morning question — how many matters today, how many tomorrow, which courts. Hearings group by court under Today, Tomorrow, This Week and Later; open a card for the courtroom's cause list, the last order PDF, and a VC Link where the court publishes one with its list. As the day unfolds, a Heard Today rail shows disposals and fresh dates the moment the registry records them. A calendar view lays the month's hearing load out by date.
The first question of a working morning is always the same: what is listed today, and where? For a chamber that keeps its matters tracked, the CourtWatch home screen is that answer standing ready — a board that fills itself.
The numbers at the top
The header counts what matters: hearings Today, hearings Tomorrow, and cases Tracked. The Calendar toggle opens a month view with each day's hearing count — the fastest way to see a heavy week coming.
The day's board
Hearings group under Today, Tomorrow, This Week and Later, and within each, by court — so the day reads the way it will be argued: courthouse by courthouse. Each hearing card carries the parties and the matter's essentials, and opens into the actions the moment needs:
- Full Details — the complete case page.
- Cause List — the courtroom's list for the day, inline, split into civil and criminal where the court divides them; your matter's item number sits in its real context.
- Last Order PDF — the most recent order on the file, one tap, when the court has published it.
- VC Link — where the court publishes a video-conference link with its list, as the Delhi High Court's board does, the card carries it. One tap from "listed today" to the courtroom's screen.
Heard Today
As the day's hearings conclude and the registry records the outcomes, a Heard Today rail collects them: a matter disposed shows its disposal, a matter adjourned shows the fresh date. It is the difference between "the hearing happened" and knowing what it produced — without calling anyone.
FAQ
Where does the VC link on a hearing come from?
From the court's own published list. Where a court includes a video-conference link with the day's cause list — the Delhi High Court does — CourtWatch carries it on the hearing card. Where the court publishes none, there is honestly nothing to show.
Why is a hearing missing from my board?
Three usual reasons: the case is not tracked, the court's record holds no next date for it (some matters genuinely sit unlisted between dates), or the case is beyond your plan's tracked limit and is not being monitored — the board warns you when that is so.
What exactly is "Heard Today"?
Tracked cases whose hearing was today and whose record has already moved — a disposal recorded, or a new next date entered. Entries appear as the registry uploads the day's outcomes, which is usually the same day, sometimes the next.
