Litigation Checks

Uncover Hidden Legal Risks Before They Become Business Liabilities

Litigation checks provide a comprehensive view of legal cases filed by or against an entity across India’s judicial and quasi-judicial ecosystem. This data helps organizations identify future legal, financial, and reputational risks that are often invisible in financial statements but can materially impact business outcomes.

What Litigation Data Covers

Supreme Court of India

All Indian High Courts

Tribunals (NCLT, NCLAT, DRT, DRAT, ITAT, CESTAT, SAT, and more)

District & Subordinate Courts across India

This ensures pan-India legal coverage, spanning constitutional, commercial, regulatory, criminal, and local disputes.

Key Litigation Data Points Captured

Each litigation record provides structured insights into:

Case type

(civil, criminal, regulatory, commercial)

Case status

(pending, disposed, stayed)

Nature of dispute

Monetary claims, penalties, or demands

Enforcement, recovery, and insolvency actions

How Litigation Checks Are Used

1. Legal Risk & Exposure Assessment

Pending litigations can translate into significant liabilities and long-term risk if adverse judgments materialize.

2. Credit & Lending Risk Assessment

Active recovery or insolvency cases indicate financial stress, influencing credit approval, pricing, and exposure limits.

3. M&A and Investment Due Diligence

Litigations often survive mergers and acquisitions. Undisclosed cases can derail transactions after closure.

4. Regulatory & Compliance Risk Monitoring

Regulatory litigations can lead to license suspension, operational restrictions, or sectoral bans.

5. Fraud, Criminal & Governance Risk Detection

Criminal exposure erodes trust and signals weak governance or ethical risk, especially when senior leadership is involved.

6. Vendor, Partner & Counterparty Due Diligence

Litigious counterparties increase operational friction and downstream legal exposure.

FAQs

1. What are litigation records and why should businesses check them?

Litigation records capture legal cases filed by or against an entity across courts and tribunals. Businesses check them to identify hidden legal, financial, regulatory, or reputational risks that may not appear in financial statements or self-disclosures.

2. Which courts and tribunals are covered in litigation checks?

Litigation checks typically cover cases from the Supreme Court of India, all High Courts, District and Subordinate Courts, and key tribunals such as NCLT, NCLAT, DRT, DRAT, ITAT, CESTAT, and other regulatory forums.

3. Why is it difficult to find complete litigation details through manual searches?

Court data is spread across multiple portals with inconsistent formats, limited search capabilities, and missing case linkages. Manual searches often fail to surface all relevant cases or correctly map them to the right entity.

4. Do litigation records include both pending and closed cases?

Yes. Litigation records generally include pending, disposed, stayed, and ongoing cases, helping users assess both current exposure and historical litigation patterns.

5. Can litigation checks reveal financial or monetary exposure?

Yes. Litigation data can highlight claims, penalties, recovery proceedings, and insolvency-related actions that indicate potential or actual financial liabilities.

Litigation checks can identify criminal, fraud, cheating, forgery, and corruption-related cases filed against companies, directors, or key management personnel, depending on court disclosures.

7. How do litigation checks help in vendor and partner due diligence?

Litigation records help assess dispute frequency, contract breach patterns, enforcement actions, and governance risks reducing exposure to litigious or high-risk counterparties.

8. Why are litigation risks often missed in financial or credit reports?

Litigation liabilities are usually off-balance-sheet and may not be disclosed unless materialized. Without legal data, businesses may underestimate risk until court actions directly impact operations or finances.

9. How are insolvency and recovery proceedings identified?

Litigation checks track cases from forums such as NCLT, NCLAT, DRT, and DRAT, helping identify insolvency filings, loan recovery actions, and creditor enforcement proceedings.

10. Do litigation records include regulatory and compliance actions?

Yes. Litigation data may include cases initiated by regulators such as SEBI, RBI, GST authorities, or enforcement agencies, indicating compliance failures or regulatory exposure.
