How to export My Cases from the eCourts app, and what to do with the file

Most advocates keep their case list in the My Cases section of the eCourts Services app. That list lives on one phone. The app has an Export button that saves the whole list as one file, and this guide shows where the button is, what the file holds, and how to load it into a diary that checks each case for you.

When you need the export

• Before an app update. On 17 August 2026 the District Court of Sirmaur asked advocates to back up My Cases with Export before installing the update released the next day.
• When you change phones. My Cases is stored on the phone, and the export is how the list moves to a new one.
• When you want the list somewhere else. The file can be loaded into a case diary, so you do not type each case again.

Export My Cases in four taps

   2Tap Export

   3Choose Device

4. 

   4Tap OK

1. Open the menu. On the app's home screen, tap the three lines at the top left.
2. Tap Export. It is the second item in the menu, under Import.
3. Choose Device. This saves the file on your phone. Choose Drive or Gmail if you will use the file on a computer.
4. Tap OK. The app saves myCases.txt in your phone's Download folder.

The screens above are from version 4.0.5 of the app on Android.

What the file holds

myCases.txt has one entry for each saved case: the CNR, the case type and number, the party names, the court, and the next date the app last showed.

The file is a copy of what the app last synced. It is not the court record. A case you have not opened in months carries whatever date the app had then. That date has often passed.

Treat the file as a list of which cases you have. The dates in it need to be read again from the court.

Import the file into Nyayakosh

Open My Diary, tap Import from eCourts, and choose myCases.txt. The file is read in your browser first, so you see what it holds before anything is added.

Fig. 2 · The import

Before you confirm

Found 214 cases in this export — 131 cases still active and 83 decided.

Include decided cases

83 of these are already decided. They'll be kept for the record and checked rarely — never alerted on.

Email me about these cases

Off to start with. You can turn alerts on per case once you've seen the list.

After

131 cases added to your diary.

2 rows were listed twice in the file. We'll read each one's court record over the next day — hearing dates and stages fill in as that happens, a few at a time so the courts' site isn't hammered.

You make two choices:

• Include decided cases. They are left out to start with. If you include them, they are kept for the record, checked rarely, and never alerted on.
• Email me about these cases. This is off to start with, so an import of a few hundred cases does not send a few hundred emails. You can turn alerts on for one case at a time later.

A row with no usable CNR is skipped, and the screen tells you which rows. A long list is sent 500 cases at a time. Cases you already track are left as they are, so importing the same file twice adds nothing twice.

What happens after the import

Nyayakosh takes the CNR of each case and reads its record from eCourts. It does this a few cases at a time. For a few hundred cases, hearing dates and stages fill in over the next few hours to a day.

  Waiting for eCourts

After that, each case is checked once a day. The check runs every 12 hours once a hearing is within 7 days, and every 6 hours within 2 days.

For a case with alerts on, you are told about four kinds of change: a new or moved hearing date, a stage change, disposal, and a new order. Alerts arrive by email and inside the app.

What the diary shows that the list does not

• The item number. When a case is on a cause list we can read, its row shows the item number.
• The court room and the video link. For Delhi courts, the row shows the room number and the judge, with a button to join the hearing by video where the court has one.
• Your day. The Today view puts the day's hearings in one place, grouped by court building and by bench.
• Where the court has reached. The High Court display board shows which item each court room is on. It is open without an account: see the display board.
