PRESS & EMBED KIT

For journalists,
researchers,
and civic groups.

Everything you need to cite, embed, or republish NyaayWatch data — logos, embed codes, suggested captions, and methodology links. All numbers come from public NJDG data with full methodology disclosure.

INVESTIGATION PATH

Start a reporting trail from the right layer.

NyaayWatch has separate public surfaces for Supreme Court, High Courts, lower-court geographies, district evidence, and snapshot movement. Choose the surface that matches the claim you want to make.

01

National entry point

Use the homepage or Supreme Court page for top-level court-system context without flattening every tier into one league table.

Open homepage

02

High Court layer

Use High Court pages for court-specific aggregates and source caveats.

Browse High Courts

03

District evidence

Use district pages, CSVs, movers, and comparisons for local reporting from published lower-court snapshots.

Open districts

04

Reusable data

Use CSV and API outputs where safe; raw scrape artifacts are not public evidence packs.

Open data

One-paragraph description.

Paste this into bylines, story intros, or grant applications.

NyaayWatch is an independent court-transparency project that publishes reviewed snapshots of pending caseloads, clearance rates, and wait times across India's Supreme Court, High Courts, and district courts. All data is drawn from public NJDG (National Judicial Data Grid) records and released under a documented, versioned methodology. Numbers are never shown without a dated source citation and a click-reachable methodology link.

Wordmark and logotype.

Flat SVG — scale to any size, use on light or dark backgrounds.

Do not alter the wordmark colours, proportions, or letterforms. Do not place the mark on a photographic background without sufficient contrast. Do not add decorative elements (courts, gavels, scales) to the mark.

Embed a district or state widget.

Drop an iframe into Substack, WordPress, Ghost, or any CMS. The widget shows the currently published numbers and links back to the full evidence page.

Replace kangra with any district ID from the districts page. Replace himachal with any state slug.

District widget

<iframe src="https://nyaaywatch.in/embed/district/kangra"
  width="420" height="220"
  frameborder="0" style="border:none;"
  title="NyaayWatch — Kangra district courts"></iframe>

State widget

<iframe src="https://nyaaywatch.in/embed/state/himachal"
  width="420" height="220"
  frameborder="0" style="border:none;"
  title="NyaayWatch — Himachal Pradesh courts"></iframe>

Citation-ready starting points.

Use these links when you need a page, file, or API response that carries a source date and methodology path.

Evidence pages

District and court pages are the safest citation targets because they keep the visible metric, source date, and methodology link together.

Open districts

Downloadable packs

Use published CSVs and API JSON as reusable evidence packs. Raw capture files stay out of the press kit unless a release explicitly clears them.

Open downloads

Movement and contrast

Use movers for snapshot-to-snapshot changes and compare pages for two-district contrasts inside the same geography.

Open movers

Journalist quickstart.

Pull the numbers directly from the API. No authentication, no rate limits for reasonable use.

Examples below use himachal and kangra — swap in the state or district slug you want. See /api for the full route list and supported scopes.

  • A ranking or performance assessment of judicial work
  • A predictor of when any specific case will be decided
  • Affiliated with any government body, court, or judicial authority
