# District Court Cases by Party Name (eCourts) (Maharashtra)

Pending and disposed cases naming a person in every court complex of a Maharashtra district, read from the district court’s own site year by year.

Status: LIVE. Source status: No recent runs. Typical time: up to 12 min. state: `maharashtra`, search_type: `court_cases`.

Coverage note: The district court site lists no case with this name in these years. It covers cases the courts entered online from 2000, and it matches the name as written, so try the spelling on the court papers too.

## What you get

Each case with its court, number, parties and CNR, and where the site shows them its status, hearings and orders, a summary PDF and a zip of the order and judgment PDFs. On long lists, results may be incomplete.

## Request parameters

Keys of `params`. A value "from lookup" is a code you get by searching for the item by name first (https://legiscore.in/docs/api/lookups).



| Name | Type | Required | Example | Comes from |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
