🚨 Launching India's first live court website downtime tracker.
Every 10 minutes, the tracker checks whether the most-used sections of Indian court websites are actually working. Because every lawyer has asked this question at least once:
"Is the website down, or is it just me?"
Built by @TheProfesseer in collaboration with @barandbench.
The Court Downtime Tracker, a product by TheProfesseer @theprofesseer in collaboration with Bar & Bench, will host a live, ticking tracker that continually monitors and records court websites across forums.

From the appointment of Election Commissioners to the deletion of voters from electoral rolls, critical constitutional questions remain unresolved.
Our latest #CountingOnLaw column by @GokulSunoj @BhavyaSudhir42 and @SonOfRajkumar in @ThePrintIndia uses six years of Supreme Court cases to reveal a pattern of judicial deference, evasion and delays that often outlast the elections themselves.
Watch @GokulSunoj explain their findings in 5 minutes. 👇

Reading the SC's judgement in Yes Bank's AT1 bonds case. Really well written. 35 pages, issues clearly laid out, no unnecessary digression into why Banking Regulation Act exists, banking history, etc. Kudos!
Check out this link for the judgement, a graphical timeline of the case, chat with it, etc. here:

And here's a scathing paragraph that sums it all up.

Who holds the ECI accountable? In #CountingOnLaw with @GokulSunoj, Founding Lawyer at @theprofesseer, examines the Supreme Court’s record over the past six years in cases involving the ECI, and finds that the Court has rarely told the Commission ‘no’.

Following the protest matters and Rahul Gandhi’s case against the ECI in the Supreme Court?
Here’s everything in one place, including the ability to simply chat with the case instead of wading through long SC orders with an endless list of lawyers' names, see bench changes as the case progresses, navigate to tagged matters, set up alerts for new orders, generate reports, etc.

+cases where the contemnor complied with the order or the cases were dismissed or withdrawn.
@nipun_saxena details how contempt petitions are usually filed by those parties which seek a quicker, effective execution of the order.
TheProfesseer retweeted
3 senior officials gave their apologies to #SupremeCourt in the contempt case relating to #DelhiProtests.
But how often does the SC convict one of civil contempt for willful disobedience of orders?
Records show punishment has been rare: less than 1% of cases end in jail/fine.
TheProfesseer retweeted
@theprofesseer's data shows about 50% of the cases are just ‘disposed of’, another 31% dismissed and than 0.1 % allowed.
In 0.2% cases, the contemnor is held guilty but no jail sentence given. 1.5% of cases were closed as the court accepted an apology, while 98% of cases are +

When @bhargavizaveri and I started @theprofesseer, we had a bold thesis. Data has revolutionized every field, what makes the law so special. The idea was that citizens, lawyers, firms, court administrators, researchers etc would all benefit from this.
Feels really good to see journalists make good use of our data!
The NCLT website has been down since last night. If you’ve been refreshing it, here’s another tab worth opening.
Our Court Website Downtime Tracker, built with @barandbench , helps you check whether it’s the website or just you.

The Supreme Court is the last check on the Election Commission's actions. Our data shows a pattern of deference, delay and remedies that barely scratch the surface.
In our fortnightly #CountingOnLaw column for @ThePrintIndia, @GokulSunoj, @SonOfRajkumar and @BhavyaSudhir42 write their findings from surveying the outcomes and timelines of 44 Supreme Court cases involving the Election Commissions' actions.

How supreme court of India functioned during turbulent times, specifically with the cases involving ECI. A great opinion piece by team @theprofesseer.
@thriddas @bhargavizaveri – at Mumbai, India
How much hope can we put in the SC as check and balance to the ECI?

Everyone is waiting for the Tata Sons boardroom battle to reach court. But will litigation resolve uncertainty or prolong it? Data on shareholder disputes in Indian courts suggests the latter. Watch the column by @bhargavizaveri, CEO of @theprofesseer

How far do you live from a constitutional court?
In our latest #CountingOnLaw, @GokulSunoj maps the distance from 780 Indian district headquarters to the High Court with jurisdiction over them.
The numbers are striking:
The average distance is 152 km.
62% of districts are more than 100 km away.
And for some districts, the nearest competent High Court is 500+ km away.
The map shows just how uneven access to constitutional courts can be across India. But geography need not determine access to justice. Some of the solutions to bridge this distance already exist — they just need to be used better.
