+====== NJDG — National Judicial Data Grid (judicial transparency portal, 2026) ======
+{{ :social:auto:ecourts-njdg-judicial-data.png?direct&1200 }}
+<WRAP info>
+**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.
+</WRAP>
+===== 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 =====
+  - **Visit njdg.ecourts.gov.in** — No login.
+  - **Choose state + district + court establishment** — Or search by court ID.
+  - **View pendency dashboard** — Total + age-wise + nature-wise.
+  - **Drill down to specific judge / case type** — Where data available.
+  - **Download CSV / PDF** — For analysis.
+  - **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.
+<code>
