Sir,

         i have checked four site given in above but i never found case. actually i want legal cases site for searching not  a case status or supreme court cases.

[Rakesh Mohindra]

plz make it  clear what type of legal case info you are interested in and looking for ...

MR. Akash has provided very good links for getting case reports.

[Akash Singh]

Dear KU. Rakhi,

Supreme Court delivers two types of decisions one Judgement at the end of all proceedings which are available through www.judis.nci.in.  These cases may be reportable or non reportable. But when a case is in process and Supreme Court has passed any ORDER in this regard,  it is found in www.Courtnic.nic.in.  Further a case may be search by various searching options like Party Name, Date of Judgement, Act/Statute wise, Free text search, Date of Judgement or citation of the case according to law reports.  I am sending an attachment containing process of searching case law for your reference please.

Dear Kamaljeet Kaur,

I feel extremely sorry.  It was not for critizing you and I just wanted to communicate further information for the benefit of all LIS Community not not only for you.  I am working on Free Access to Law Movement since last seven years. I have also contributed two books on the subject viz. Accessing Legal Information:Resource & Material, ILI, New Dlehi, 2006 & Digital Library:Legal Education & Research, NLUD Press, 2010 containing best possible known open access sources for law subject.  I am also a part of Legal Information Institute of India: A Free Access to Law Movement in India through www.liiofindia.org. I again regret for hurting your sentiment.
