How many judgments each Indian High Court has published: the count, court by court

Pundora · Published 3 October 2026 · Updated 30 October 2026

On 30 October 2026 Pundora’s corpus held 1,92,34,645 judgments of the Supreme Court and 25 High Courts, 1,89,24,650 of them with full text. This is the count, court by court and year by year, with how it was made.

Court by court

“Record runs” is the first year in which the open archive holds at least 25 of that court’s judgments, to the last year held. A court whose record begins in 2010 has older judgments; they are not in the courts’ open electronic archive, so they are not here.

Decade by decade

Year by year, since 2000

2026 is a part year, counted to 2026-10-30.

How this was counted, and what it does not show

• One count, one day. A single counting query over Pundora’s judgment table on 2026-10-30, grouped by court and by the year of the decision date. The corpus is topped up every night, so tomorrow’s count is larger.
• The source is the courts’ own open archive. Pundora loads what the High Courts and the Supreme Court publish electronically. A court that has digitised only its recent years shows only those years. These are counts of what is published, not of what each court decided.
• Every order is a row. The archive holds interim orders and final judgments alike; a court that uploads every daily order shows a larger number than one that uploads judgments only. The counts are not a measure of a court’s workload or output.
• 139 rows carry a decision date outside 1950 to 2026 (a typing error in the court’s own record, such as the year 3021). They are in the court totals and left out of the year tables.
• Tribunal and regulator orders are not in these numbers. Pundora holds the orders of six such bodies beside the courts’ judgments; they are counted separately. District courts are not held.
