National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG)

The country's own dashboard of its case backlog

Here's a Feynman-style way to picture NJDG: imagine every court in India — Supreme Court down to the smallest taluka bench — reporting into one shared spreadsheet, updated daily, showing how many cases came in, how many got decided, and how many are still stuck. That spreadsheet, searchable and public, is NJDG. It was built primarily as a policy tool (the government uses it to spot which courts are drowning in pendency), but it doubles as a genuine research resource: you can pull case-level data, not just aggregate statistics, for the Supreme Court, every High Court, and District and Taluka courts. Journalists covering "judicial delay" stories lean on this dataset constantly.
