🚨 Launching India's first live court website downtime tracker.
Every 10 minutes, the tracker checks whether the most-used sections of Indian court websites are actually working. Because every lawyer has asked this question at least once:
"Is the website down, or is it just me?"
Built by @TheProfesseer in collaboration with @barandbench.
The Court Downtime Tracker, a product by TheProfesseer @theprofesseer in collaboration with Bar & Bench, will host a live, ticking tracker that continually monitors and records court websites across forums.

A mid-week reminder that our Founding50 program is still open!
What would you want to know about your firm’s litigation—or your competitor’s—if public court data could tell you:
1. Which courts do they litigate in?
2. What kinds of matters dominate?
3. How long do cases take, and how do they end?
Courtfolio on CourtsDaily lets you build a Watchlist of relevant cases and generate a litigation profile using publicly available court data. Analyse your own matters, your firm’s, your company’s or a competitor’s. Update and share the report at the click of a button. All this in addition to the usual feature of case updates as they happen!
Applications are open for our Founding50 programme. Add at least 25 cases to one Watchlist, use Courtfolio and share candid feedback.
You’ll unlock free Courtfolio access until 30 June 2027, setup support and a direct line to our team.
No requests for promotional posts or testimonials. Help us build the analytics you’d find useful.

Yet another case management system? Nope, we had something else in mind.
Tracking individual cases is useful. Seeing what they tell you together opens up a different set of opportunities: 1/n

1. What does your law firm's or company’s litigation portfolio look like? Which kinds of matters dominate your practice? How old are your pending cases, and how have disposed matters ended?
2. What do judge wise patterns in interim orders look like? Do timelines vary by bench or judge?
3. Can I see across the case family (main case, interim applications, lower court cases, appeals and tagged matters) all together in one place?
4. Can I group cases argued by a specific counsel in one place and see case patterns?
5. Can I group cases involving a specific company (say, Tata Motors) together and see their case patterns? Courtfolio, our new feature on CourtsDaily, lets you explore those questions using public court data. Save cases, organise them into Watchlists and receive email updates. Then generate a litigation profile for yourself or your company, showing patterns across case types, judges, outcomes and timelines. Update it and share it (or not!) with clients, peers and friends at the click of a button. 2/n
From the appointment of Election Commissioners to the deletion of voters from electoral rolls, critical constitutional questions remain unresolved.
Our latest #CountingOnLaw column by @GokulSunoj @BhavyaSudhir42 and @SonOfRajkumar in @ThePrintIndia uses six years of Supreme Court cases to reveal a pattern of judicial deference, evasion and delays that often outlast the elections themselves.
Watch @GokulSunoj explain their findings in 5 minutes. 👇

Reading the SC's judgement in Yes Bank's AT1 bonds case. Really well written. 35 pages, issues clearly laid out, no unnecessary digression into why Banking Regulation Act exists, banking history, etc. Kudos!
Check out this link for the judgement, a graphical timeline of the case, chat with it, etc. here:

And here's a scathing paragraph that sums it all up.

Following the protest matters and Rahul Gandhi’s case against the ECI in the Supreme Court?
Here’s everything in one place, including the ability to simply chat with the case instead of wading through long SC orders with an endless list of lawyers' names, see bench changes as the case progresses, navigate to tagged matters, set up alerts for new orders, generate reports, etc.

The NCLT website has been down since last night. If you’ve been refreshing it, here’s another tab worth opening.
Our Court Website Downtime Tracker, built with @barandbench , helps you check whether it’s the website or just you.

The Supreme Court is the last check on the Election Commission's actions. Our data shows a pattern of deference, delay and remedies that barely scratch the surface.
In our fortnightly #CountingOnLaw column for @ThePrintIndia, @GokulSunoj, @SonOfRajkumar and @BhavyaSudhir42 write their findings from surveying the outcomes and timelines of 44 Supreme Court cases involving the Election Commissions' actions.

Tukaram Mundhe is widely seen as the knight Gotham needs—but perhaps does not deserve: an administrator finally willing to enforce the law against food establishments. But here is the puzzle: Data from TheProfesseer’s Courts Data Lab shows that of the 16 FDA suspension orders challenged before the Bombay High Court since Mundhe took over, all 16 went against the department.
So what is going on here? Does the Court simply not care about enforcement?
In this week's #CountingOnLaw column in @ThePrintIndia, @SonOfRajkumar and @GokulSunoj argue that at least part of the problem may lie in the legitimacy of the suspension orders themselves. Under Maharashtra’s food safety law, the FDA can suspend a food business’s licence—and the appeal goes back to the Commissioner who heads the same department. In other words, the FDA is effectively judge, jury and executioner.
Their solution is straightforward: suspension orders should be subject to an independent appellate mechanism, just as monetary penalties are.
That would *not* weaken enforcement. It could make enforcement more legitimate—and give suspension orders a better chance of surviving judicial scrutiny.

Every corruption allegation in the judiciary leads to calls for judges to disclose their assets.
But is that the right response?
In last week's #CountingOnLaw in @ThePrintIndia, @GokulSunoj and @SonOfRajkumar argue that “stalking judges’ assets” is the wrong way to think about judicial transparency.

Our co-founder @thriddas joined Pinky Anand, @advbharatchugh and @ruchichic of @ThePrintIndia to discuss the Supreme Court’s decision on the three-year practice requirement for district judges.
Less emphasis on arbitrary entry barriers. More emphasis on clerkships, training and judicial academies.

Re-upping a column by @GokulSunoj and @thriddas where they made a case for reducing the practice requirements for appointment as district judges. After all, law practice is not the only way to learn *about the law or the practice of it*.
Last week's Supreme Court judgement reducing the minimum practice requirements to 1 year reflects a very similar line of reasoning.
As the SC reduces the mandatory practice requirement for the judicial services exam from 3 years to 1, read #ThePrintOpinion by Gokul Sunoj & Siddarth Raman @thriddas of @theprofesseer

How long before a Supreme Court case gets its first hearing?
In this week's CountingOnLaw column in @ThePrintIndia, @NarainRashika and @GokulSunoj crunch the numbers using @theprofesseer's case lifecycle database. Key findings. 1/2
'Behind every Supreme Court petition is a waiting game. Data shows that the Supreme Court is relatively quicker to hear cases initiated by private petitioners than the state', argues @GokulSunoj, founding lawyer at @theprofesseer
youtu.be/6SKKOoB_WGM
Some quick findings:
1. Median case: 32 days
2. Criminal cases tend to be quicker compared to civil ones.
How has this pattern changed across different CJIs? And does it vary by govt. v/s private cases?

“Force majeure” is about to have a moment. But how strong is it as a defence in Indian courts?@GokulSunoj & @SonOfRajkumar look at 350 cases in @theprofesseer's database to find out the success rate of a force majeure defence in @ThePrintIndia this week:

Eco.Survey lamented about high NCLT pendency, yet again. So, what's clogging up the NCLT pipeline? And can we do anything - other than 'more resources' - to unclog it?

'NCLT is caught up in wasteful govt-to-govt litigation. Reducing its load requires changes to the Companies Act', argues Gokul K Sunoj, Associate at The Professeer @theprofesseer
