How to Check Case Status, Next Date and Cause List Online in Bangladesh

In this guide: Where to check · How to search · When the online record is wrong or missing · Certified copies and next steps

The short answer

There are two main online sources. For the High Court Division and the Appellate Division, the Supreme Court publishes a daily cause list showing which matters each bench will take up. For district and lower courts, the judiciary’s online case list (causelist.judiciary.org.bd) and the Amar Adalat (MyCourt) app, launched in 2022, show cases listed for a day, the next date and recent orders.

Online lists are a convenience, not the official record. The court’s order sheet decides, so confirm any important date through your lawyer.

Where to check

How to search

1. Pick the division, district and the exact court (for example the Chief Judicial Magistrate or the Joint District Judge court).
2. Enter the case type, number and year exactly as on your papers.
3. For the High Court, search the cause list for your case number and note the bench and item number.
4. Save a screenshot with the date for your records.

When the online record is wrong or missing

• Not every court uploads every day, and some older cases are not online.
• A wrong date online does not excuse a missed hearing; the order sheet governs.
• Ask your lawyer to check the register or get a certified copy of the order sheet.
• If a warrant or adverse order was passed in your absence, act at once: see our guide on warrants.

Certified copies and next steps

For an appeal, a bail application or a High Court petition you usually need certified copies of the FIR, orders or judgment. Your lawyer applies to the court’s copying section; the cost and time vary by court.
