CNR Number

Case Number Record

Usage

After a case has been admitted for trial i.e. it has been accepted during an Admission hearing or has been directly approved to get into trial, it is assigned a CNR Number and the date is marked as the registration date. This CNR number is aligned with the number format used by the Case Information System (CIS) managed by the National Informatics Center (NIC).

A case rejected at time of admission hearing, i.e. doesn't goes to trail, will not have a CNR number.

Format and Example

It has the following format and the table below also shows different examples.

CNR Number

The number is unique to a court establishment within a district within a state.

ID Gen Format

DIGIT's ID Generation Service will be used to help generate this number. The format for filing number will be as below

[STATE_ID][DISTRICT_ID][ESTABLISHMENT_ID]-[CNR_SQUENCENUMBER]-[cy:YYYY] 

This service will be enhanced to pull data from multiple masters to create the CNR number.

Reset Logic

The 6-digit case filing number part of the CNR Number is reset to start with 1, every calendar year. The first case logged at an establishment on 1st January will start with 1. For example, for Punjab, District Jalandhar and District and Sessions Court Establishment, this will be

PBJL01-000001-2025  // 1st Case on 1st January 2025
PBJL01-000002-2025  // 2nd Case (the sequence number will keep incrementing)

Master Data Dependency

CNR number uses the following masters

1. State master to get STATE_ID

2. District master to get DISTRICT_ID

3. Establishment master to get ESTABLISHMENT_ID

4. ID Gen master table to get CNR_SQUENCENUMBER
