Gujarat High Court — case status, RTI portal and procedure

The High Court of Gujarat is unusual in a helpful way: alongside case status and orders, it maintains a dedicated RTI portal and publishes the notifications by which it designates PIOs, First Appellate Authorities and Assistant PIOs — including for family courts and other establishments under the High Court. That makes the first step of any RTI against the Gujarat judiciary unusually easy: the officer's name is on the court's own site.

1. Search on the court's case-status services by case number, party, advocate or CNR
2. Follow listing through the daily cause lists; the court also streams listed matters and publishes board and district-court services
3. Orders and judgments are downloadable free as published
4. Certified copies through the copying section, at the copying branch's own rates — apply and track rather than sending an RTI for the case file

The RTI portal exists for applications against the High Court as a public authority — administrative records, not judicial ones:

• What belongs here: establishment and vacancies, infrastructure and procurement, the conduct of administrative wings, listing administration, and anything the court's Section 4(1)(b) disclosure covers
• What does not: copies of pleadings, orders and judgments — the copying branch supplies those under the court's rules
• How to file: follow the portal's flow, pay the prescribed ₹10 state fee in the accepted mode, and keep the reference number for the first appeal

A workable administrative-records request:

1. Name and designation of the Public Information Officer of the High Court.
2. Sanctioned strength and vacancies in the registry as on date, group-wise.
3. The number of RTI applications received, replied and pending beyond 30 days in the past year.
4. Copies of notifications designating PIOs and First Appellate Authorities issued in the last three years.
5. The procedure and applicable fee for inspection of administrative records.
