This page explains how to set up alerts so that you are notified whenever a specific case is cited, whenever there is a new case on your topic, or whenever there is a new case in a particular court. For general information on Indian legal research, see our Indian Legal Research Guide.
Indian Kanoon is an up to date open-access database of cases from the Indian Supreme Court and all High Courts. You can set up an alert so that you are notified by email or RSS when a case is subsequently cited in another judgment. Note that RSS alerts are free, but to receive email alerts, you must be a 'premium member' - this costs Rs 500 (approximately AU$10) per month. See more about premium membership.
