Best Apps to Track Court Dates in India: eCourts, Court Click, SARTH, Mercury and myKase Compared

Three questions decide the right app: which courts you appear in, whether you need the daily list fetched for you, and whether court dates must sit with the rest of the matter.

What Should the Best Apps to Track Court Dates in India Do?

A court-date app earns its place on five tests:

• Coverage: it reaches the courts you appear in, whether district courts, High Courts, the Supreme Court or tribunals such as NCLT, consumer forums and DRT.
• Timeliness: it learns of a date soon after the court publishes it.
• Alerts: the reminder reaches you before the hearing, and some products add alerts tied to live courtroom progress.
• Calendar: dates land in the calendar you already use.
• Reach: juniors and clerks work on the same record, and clients get the next date without a phone call.

For a High Court or District Court matter, the eCourts services and the court's published cause list are the official record; for a Supreme Court or tribunal matter, the forum's own record is. Judge each app below by the courts it covers and the alerts it publishes.

Is the Official eCourts Services App Enough?

The eCourts Services app is the official court-information application for High Courts and District Courts, and it is completely free for all users. You can select High Courts, District Courts or both, and it searches by CNR number, case number, filing number, FIR number, party name, advocate details, case type or Act. The case history shows hearing dates, judge details, party and advocate information and court proceedings. Cause lists give the daily schedules of cases listed for hearing, "My Cases" saves and tracks selected cases, and a calendar view shows the upcoming hearing dates of saved cases.

That makes it the right tool for a litigant following one case, and the baseline every other option here is measured against. Its saved-case calendar and advocate-wise search also help an advocate follow a small docket. An advocate carrying a daily docket across several courts, or a firm carrying hundreds of matters, gains from the automation, alerts and team features the next products add.

How Do Court Click, SARTH and Mercury Compare?

Court Click, from Digilaw Legal Software Private Limited, is built around the advocate's daily docket. A lawyer logs in with a phone number and an advocate enrollment number, and the app fetches the daily causelist automatically. It adds a live court display board that shows which item number is being heard in High Court courtrooms, custom hearing alerts before an item is called, a colour-coded calendar, team management for clerks and juniors, billing and certified copy delivery. It is free with in-app purchases, and the Uttar Pradesh and Delhi High Courts are live.

SARTH leads with breadth. One search covers the Supreme Court, all High Courts, District Courts, NCLT, consumer forums and DRT, by CNR number, case number, party name or advocate name. The app sends notifications one day and one hour before every hearing, lets an advocate share hearing dates with clients, and adds searchable judgments, bare acts and an AI question-and-answer tool. Court search is free and needs no login.

Mercury watches the courts for you. Add a matter once, and orders, hearing dates and status changes arrive in the workspace as the court publishes them; it checks court establishments several times a day. It offers month-view cause lists, hearings that sync to Google Calendar and Outlook, a live courtroom status screen, and a daily agenda on WhatsApp for today, tomorrow or the next seven days. It starts with a 14-day free trial.

Where Does myKase Fit Among Court Date Apps?

myKase's litigation management software, built by Manupatra, emails the next date of hearing from 10,000+ courts in India, tagged to your cases, and sends automatic alerts for case status updates by email and WhatsApp. Cases are searched by party name and added to the tracking list, and the cause list is personalised and managed from the same place as the matter.

Dates and to-dos sit in a calendar view integrated with Outlook and Google, and orders, judgments and the case timeline sit with the matter. Team members work on the same record, custom email alerts go to the user and to clients, and updates and next dates can be shared with clients. The myKase mobile app puts the matter dashboard, with its court hearings, tasks, documents and client contact, in one place, and sends push notifications for tasks and calendar events.

Court dates are one function of a platform that manages cases, IP assets, clients, documents, notices and billing. Our guide to NDOH, cause lists and CNR numbers explains each term behind those dates, and our comparison of the best legal case management software in India covers the wider platform decision.

Which App Should You Choose?

Choose by court coverage first, then by docket and workflow. A litigant following one High Court or District Court case should use the eCourts Services app: it is official, free, and shows a saved case in its calendar view. An advocate who appears in several courts every day should compare Court Click's automatic causelist, SARTH's one-day and one-hour reminders and Mercury's court updates and agendas against the courts they appear in, since each publishes a different court list and alert schedule.

A firm, a chamber or a corporate legal team carrying many matters should choose myKase, because court-date tracking sits inside the practice it manages. Trial any option the same way: load three matters with hearings listed in the courts you appear in, compare each alert with the court's published listing and the latest order, and record when each update arrives.

What Do These Court Date Apps Cost to Start?

The eCourts Services app is completely free. Court Click is free with in-app purchases. SARTH's court search is free with no login, and its app is free to download. Mercury starts with a 14-day free trial. Price the tracking features you intend to use separately from free installation or free search, and confirm what any trial includes.

myKase is sold as a subscription, with litigation case tracking priced to caseload and team size. The pricing page sets out the current model; compare a quote for your modules, users and caseload with what your team spends today on the tools it opens before a hearing.

How Do You Check a Court Date Before Relying on It?

Before you travel or advise a client, confirm the date against the latest order and the court's cause list for that day, and look for a supplementary list. An app alert is the prompt to check, and the order and the published listing are the authority. When they disagree, raise the difference with the court registry before changing the diary.

Record the court, the case identifier, the date, the stage and the source with each alert, so the next person on the matter can see where the date came from. Our guide on how to check court case status online explains the identifier each court system expects, including the CNR number.
