Chhattisgarh High Court Cause List: How to Check the Daily List Online (2026)

How-To · Cause List · Chhattisgarh

Updated for 2026 · Claw Editorial

You can find the Chhattisgarh High Court daily or advance cause list online by choosing a date, bench, court number, party or advocate on the official court website or on eCourts High Court Services. Claw can also show the next hearing date for each matter automatically, so you do not scan the PDF every evening. Last verified: October 2026.

01Why the cause list is a daily chore

A cause list tells you which matters a judge will take up on a given day, in what order, and in which court room. For an advocate with matters at the High Court of Chhattisgarh at Bilaspur, it is the one document that decides tomorrow's plan.

The trouble is that the list is long and arrives late. It is usually a PDF, matters are grouped by court and judge, and your case can sit far down the page. If you miss an entry, you can miss a hearing. If you check only the main list, you can miss a matter added later.

This guide shows how to get the list from the official sources, how to read it, and how to avoid the common mistakes. It is about the cause list only. To check the status of a single case, see our guide to checking Chhattisgarh High Court case status.

02Steps to check the cause list on the official portal

There are two official routes. The Chhattisgarh High Court website has its own cause list section. eCourts High Court Services is the national portal run by the NIC for High Court cause lists, case status and orders.

1. Open the official source: Go to the Chhattisgarh High Court website and open the cause list section, or open eCourts High Court Services (hcservices.ecourts.gov.in) and choose Cause List.
2. Select the High Court and bench: Choose High Court of Chhattisgarh. The court sits at Bilaspur, so pick the bench or establishment shown for the court.
3. Pick the date: Select the hearing date. For tomorrow's list, choose the next working day.
4. Choose the list type: Select daily, advance, supplementary or weekly list, whichever the portal shows for that date.
5. Narrow by court number or judge: Pick the court number or judge to see only the matters before that bench.
6. Enter the captcha and open the list: Type the captcha, press the button to view the list, then open the PDF or the on-screen list.
7. Find your matter: Search the list for your case number, party name or advocate name, and note the item number and court number.

03List types explained: daily, advance, supplementary, weekly

You will see more than one kind of list. Each has a different purpose.

• Daily cause list: the main list for the hearing day. It is normally published the evening before, so this is what people mean by tomorrow's cause list.
• Advance cause list: a list published earlier for matters expected on a later date. It helps you plan, but it can change.
• Supplementary list: matters added after the daily list was issued, often urgent or fresh matters. Always check it if you do not find your case.
• Weekly list: a list of matters grouped for a week, used for certain categories of cases.

Not every list type is published for every date or every court. What you see depends on what the Registry has uploaded.

04Filters you can use on the cause list

How you search depends on what you already know about your matter.

Party names are often spelt in different ways, so a search can miss your matter. Try short forms and alternate spellings. We measured how name variation affects party search in this experiment on name-tolerant search.

05Reading the Chhattisgarh High Court list

The High Court of Chhattisgarh has its seat at Bilaspur, and its cause list is organised by court number and judge, in the same way as most High Courts. Single judge courts take writ petitions, criminal appeals, revisions and miscellaneous matters. Division benches of two judges take matters such as writ appeals, first appeals and criminal appeals against heavier sentences.

What to note from each entry

• Court number and judge: where your matter will be heard.
• Item number: your place in the order. Low numbers are reached first.
• Case type and number: such as WPC, WPCR, CRA, MCRC or FA, followed by number and year.
• Parties and counsel: use these to confirm it is your matter.
• Purpose of listing: admission, final hearing, orders, or similar.

Remember that a matter on the list may still not be reached on the day. Keep checking the court's next hearing date after the sitting.

06Common problems and fixes

• The list is not up yet: lists are normally uploaded in the evening. Check again later, and check the supplementary list the next morning.
• Your case is not on the list: check the date, the supplementary list and other benches. It may have been deleted, adjourned or moved.
• The PDF will not load or the captcha fails: refresh, retry on the other official portal, or try later in the day.
• Old copy of a list: a list can be revised. Confirm the date and version on the page before you rely on it.
• Wrong spelling: search by case number first, then by party name.
