🚨 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.

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.

My Substack issue with a monthly round-up of what @theprofesseer team & I have been building and writing through October. This month's issue has information on how to join our Founding50 program and avail of its perks, and our columns in @ThePrintIndia on: 1. why the Supreme Court’s judgement in the Yes Bank case is more important for regulatory governance than it seems, by Harsh Vardhan and me; 2. a six year data review that reveals how the Supreme Court has typically dilly dallied in cases involving the Election Commission, by @GokulSunoj, @BhavyaSudhir42 and @SonOfRajkumar; 3. a review of 7K intellectual property suits that shows why Bollywood celebs prefer Delhi High Court over the Bombay High Court for protecting their personality rights by @NarainRashika, Rohan Talwar, Gokul and Srikanth. And, of course, a plug on TheProfesseer’s Courts Data Lab. If you're curious about how you could use our data to help your practice or research, do read this and reach out to us!

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 courtsdaily.info/founding50 @bhargavizaveri @thriddas

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. 👇 youtu.be/VhzweUkmD-0?si=380h…

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: courtsdaily.info/case/356916… And here's a scathing paragraph that sums it all up.

Who holds the ECI accountable? In #CountingOnLaw with @GokulSunoj, Founding Lawyer at @theprofesseer, examines the Supreme Court’s record over the past six years in cases involving the ECI, and finds that the Court has rarely told the Commission ‘no’.  youtu.be/VhzweUkmD-0

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. Your One Place for Every Case: courtsdaily.info/case/506977… courtsdaily.info/case/530741…

+cases where the contemnor complied with the order or the cases were dismissed or withdrawn. @nipun_saxena details how contempt petitions are usually filed by those parties which seek a quicker, effective execution of the order.

3 senior officials gave their apologies to #SupremeCourt in the contempt case relating to #DelhiProtests. But how often does the SC convict one of civil contempt for willful disobedience of orders? Records show punishment has been rare: less than 1% of cases end in jail/fine.

@theprofesseer's data shows about 50% of the cases are just ‘disposed of’, another 31% dismissed and than 0.1 % allowed. In 0.2% cases, the contemnor is held guilty but no jail sentence given. 1.5% of cases were closed as the court accepted an apology, while 98% of cases are +

When @bhargavizaveri and I started @theprofesseer, we had a bold thesis. Data has revolutionized every field, what makes the law so special. The idea was that citizens, lawyers, firms, court administrators, researchers etc would all benefit from this. Feels really good to see journalists make good use of our data!

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. 🔗 courtsdaily.info/downtime/ @shishirar @GitiPratap @thriddas @bhargavizaveri @pallavibnb
