Filing Number

Usage

A case when filled/logged in the system, is given a CaseID, which is an internal system ID. Along with this, system will also generate a filing number and associate with the case.

Format and Example

It will have the following format

F-<StatuteSection>-<YYYY>-<7 digit sequence number> 

The sequence number is per statute section per year. So this means that it will reset every year. For this will also be limited to a specific court complex and the same number can repeat across court complexes. Following are some examples

For NIA case Statute ID C.1881.026, so the filing number will be  
F-C.1881.026-2024-0000001 
F-C.1881.026-2024-0000002 
F-C.1881.026-2024-0000003 
F-C.1881.026-2024-0000004 

For Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) Statute ID is C.1973.002, so the 
filing number will be 
F-C.1973.002-2024-0000001  //note that the sequence number starts from 1 

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

F-[STATUTE_ID]-[cy:YYYY]-[STATUTE_SQUENCENUMBER] 

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

Reset Logic

The 7 digit sequence number part of the Filing Number is reset to start with 1, every calendar year. The first case logged on 1st January will start with 1.

F-C.1881.026-2025-0000001  // 1st Case on 1st January 2025
F-C.1881.026-2025-0000002  // 2nd Case (the sequence number will keep incrementing)

Master Data Dependency

Filing Number uses the following masters

1. Statute Master table to get the STATUTE_ID

2. ID Gen master table to get STATUTE_SQUENCENUMBER
