Allahabad High Court Cause List: Allahabad and Lucknow Bench

The cause list of High Court Allahabad — the daily schedule of cases fixed for hearing — is published on the court’s official website, allahabadhighcourt.in, with a separate list for the Lucknow bench on its own portal. Both are free to view and updated for each working day. This guide covers where each list lives, the different list types the court publishes, how to find your case, and the case-status tools that go with the lists — all links verified in July 2026.

One High Court, Two Sets of Lists

The High Court of Judicature at Allahabad sits at Prayagraj (Allahabad), with a permanent bench at Lucknow. Cases from the Awadh districts go to the Lucknow bench; the rest of Uttar Pradesh is served by the principal seat. Each seat runs its own registry and publishes its own cause list:

• Allahabad (principal seat) — via the causelist section of allahabadhighcourt.in/causelist
• Lucknow bench — on the bench’s portal at hclko.allahabadhighcourt.in/causelist

If you search for a “Lucknow high court cause list”, this is what you are looking for: Lucknow does not have a separate High Court; its lists are the Lucknow-bench lists of the Allahabad High Court.

What the Cause List Shows

Each day’s list is arranged court-wise. For every case you will find:

• the serial (item) number — the case’s position in that court’s list
• the case number — type, number and year (for example, WRIT-C No. 12345 of 2025)
• the party names and the counsel appearing
• the category heading the case is listed under — fresh, admission, orders, hearing, part heard
• the court number and the bench composition

Cases are called broadly in item order. If your case is absent from the day’s lists — main and supplementary — it will not be taken up that day.

Step by Step: Checking Today’s List at Allahabad

1. Open allahabadhighcourt.in/causelist.
2. Choose Cause List Allahabad (the same page also links the Lucknow bench list and the mediation cause list).
3. Pick the list type and date. The Allahabad registry publishes several lists, including:

• Daily Cause List — the main court-wise list for the day
• Additional Cause List — cases added after the main list
• Combined Cause List — the consolidated view
• Fresh Cases and Backlog Fresh Cases — newly filed matters coming up for the first time
• Daily Application (IA) List and Application (Correction) — interlocutory and correction applications
• Fresh Mentioned List — matters mentioned for urgent listing
• Cause List with Status Report (Beta) — list entries paired with case-status details

1. Open the list and search it for your case number, party name or advocate name (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F works in both the web view and PDF).
2. Note the item number and court number, and the heading your case sits under.

Step by Step: Lucknow Bench Cause List

1. Open hclko.allahabadhighcourt.in/causelist — or reach it via the Cause List Lucknow Bench link on the main causelist page.
2. Select the date and list. The bench publishes its daily and supplementary lists in the same court-wise format, plus a cause list with status report that merges each listing with the case’s current status.
3. Search within the list by case number, party or advocate name, and note the item and court number.

Because fresh and additional lists can be issued into the evening, advocates’ clerks typically check the lists twice: once when the daily list is out, and again on the morning of the hearing.

Finding Cases by Advocate Name

Neither seat requires you to read the entire list manually. The lists are searchable in the browser, and the practical routine for an advocate or clerk is:

1. Open the relevant list (daily plus additional/fresh lists) for the date.
2. Search for the advocate’s name exactly as it appears on the vakalatnama — the list prints counsel names against each case.
3. Repeat across the list types, since a case may appear in the additional or fresh list rather than the daily list.

For a single known case, the fastest route is often the Cause List with Status Report tool, or the case-status search described below, which shows the next listing date without scanning any list.

Case Status and Related e-Services

The court’s case status page branches into the services you will use alongside the cause list:

• Case Status Allahabad — search principal-seat cases by number, party or counsel and see the stage, orders and next listing date.
• Case Status Lucknow Bench — the same service on the bench portal at hclko.allahabadhighcourt.in/status.
• Judgments and orders — available through the court’s eLegalix system linked from the same page.
• Copying/folio status — the computerised copying section’s application status is also linked there.
• eCourts portal — the national High Court Services portal at hcservices.ecourts.gov.in carries Allahabad High Court cause lists, case status and orders too, useful if the court site is slow.

For the general anatomy of these lists — item numbers, stage headings, display boards and links for every High Court — see our hub guide to the high court cause list. For a similar two-seat setup in the east, see the cause list of patna high court.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I check the Allahabad High Court cause list?

At allahabadhighcourt.in/causelist for the principal seat, and hclko.allahabadhighcourt.in/causelist for the Lucknow bench. Both are official, free, and updated for each working day.

Is there a separate Lucknow High Court cause list?

Lucknow does not have its own High Court. The “Lucknow cause list” is the cause list of the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court, published on the bench portal hclko.allahabadhighcourt.in.

What is the difference between the daily and additional cause lists?

The daily cause list is the main schedule issued in advance. The additional (supplementary) list carries cases added afterwards — fresh filings, urgent mentions, corrections. Check both; a case absent from the daily list may still be listed in the additional list.

How do I find all cases listed for a particular advocate?

Open the day’s lists and search for the advocate’s name — counsel names are printed against each entry. Run the search across the daily, additional and fresh lists, since a matter can sit in any of them.

What does “fresh case” mean in the Allahabad cause list?

A newly filed matter listed before the court for the first time, usually for admission. The registry lists fresh cases separately, and older first-listing matters may appear in the backlog fresh list.

How do I know the next date if my case is not listed?

Use the case-status service — Case Status Allahabad or Case Status Lucknow Bench, depending on the seat. It shows the current stage, recent orders and the next listing date where fixed.

Can I get certified copies online?

The court runs a computerised copying section; apply through the process described on the official site and track the folio/application status from the case-status page. Certified copies are issued by the seat where the case is registered.
