NJDG — National Judicial Data Grid (judicial transparency portal, 2026)

Quick answer: NJDG is India's judicial dashboard at njdg.ecourts.gov.in. Pendency, disposal rates, age-wise + nature-wise breakdown for 16,000+ courts. Free, real-time.

Key facts

  • 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

Step-by-step

  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.

Common issues

  • 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.

If stuck — file an RTI

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.

1. Status of my case no. _____ as on date.
2. Reasons for delay / non-listing in past 30 days.
3. Number of similar cases pending + disposed in past 12 months.
4. Procedure to seek certified copy / file inspection.
5. Name + designation of court PIO + appellate authority.
