NJDG — National Judicial Data Grid

• NJDG covers 16,000+ district + subordinate courts
• High Courts have own dashboards (linked from NJDG)
• Pendency: total, < 1 year, 1-5 years, 5-10 years, > 10 years
• Court-wise + judge-wise data (where staffing permits)
• Real-time updates from CIS (Case Information System)
• RTI to court if specific data missing

1. Visit njdg.ecourts.gov.in — No login.
2. Choose state + district + court establishment — Or search by court ID.
3. View pendency dashboard — Total + age-wise + nature-wise.
4. Drill down to specific judge / case type — Where data available.
5. Download CSV / PDF — For analysis.
6. RTI for missing categories — Court PIO.

• Specific court missing data — court not yet on CIS or recent migration.
• Judge-wise data unavailable — court-level only available; RTI for judge-wise breakdown.
• Old pending cases — long-pending cases don't auto-resolve; RTI for cause + bench movement.
• Cross-state comparison harder — each HC has own portal; NJDG aggregates.

Court records are split: judicial records (case file, orders) follow CPC rules + court counter; administrative records (vacancy, infrastructure, listing logic, judges' assets) are disclosable via RTI to the court PIO.
