Court Watch
Every systemic road-safety case before the Supreme Court — public interest litigation, suo motu matters and appeals that produced nationwide directions — tracked order by order, alongside the judgments that set precedent for crash victims.
The Supreme Court doesn't just decide road-safety cases — it hands the government dated deadlines. This ledger extracts each direction, names the duty-bearer, and converts the granted time into a calendar date, so the question becomes simple: has the deadline passed?
"Deadline passed" means the date the Court set has gone by with compliance not confirmed on the orders we track — not a finding of government failure. "Non-compliance recorded" is used only where a later order of the Court itself notes the direction was not met (as with the National Road Safety Board). Every direction links to its source order.
Original-jurisdiction petitions — Article 32 writs where citizens, doctors and NGOs moved the Court and the Court kept the file open until systems changed.
Filters and search apply across all three docket sections below.
Suo motu writ petitions — no petitioner, no filing. The Court read the news, registered a case and summoned the state. The rarest and fastest-moving instrument on this docket.
Appellate matters — individual disputes the Court used to fix the system: Constitution Bench references, appeals with directions binding every state, tribunal and insurer.
Not systemic monitoring cases — the rulings every Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, insurer and claimant lawyer works from: compensation method, insurer liability, licence law and sentencing.
Matters that surfaced in the weekly sweep but sit outside the inclusion rule. They stay on watch; a systemic turn moves them onto the docket.
Every case, order and deadline here links to its source text on Indian Kanoon. The full dataset is open — cite it in filings and letters, embed it, build on it.
