--- title: "Supreme Court Judgments Coverage by Year | Vakilat" description: "Supreme Court of India judgments held by Vakilat from 1950 to 2026, compared with the Court's own records, with known gaps openly reported." url: https://www.vakilat.io/coverage publisher: "Vakilat" --- Coverage # Supreme Court judgments in Vakilat Last updated 27 October 2026 Vakilat holds 47,578 judgments of the Supreme Court of India, decided from 1950 to 16 October 2026, each taken from the Court's own website. This page shows how many it holds for each year, how that compares with the Court's own lists, and what is still missing. High Courts and tribunals are not covered yet. ## Year by year “Listed by the Court” counts the files in the Supreme Court's judgments by date lists. Vakilat also holds judgments from the Court's older judgment archive, so the two counts can differ in either direction. Figures as of 27 October 2026.

A judgment from the last few days may not be in Vakilat yet. - The Court lists nothing for 53 months, almost all of them summer vacations, so those months have no judgments anywhere. ## Where the judgments come from Every judgment comes from the Supreme Court's own website: its judgments by date lists, which run from February 1950, and its older judgment archive. Vakilat keeps the Court's PDF, and every judgment you open links to [the Court's copy](https://www.sci.gov.in). No law report or private collection is used. ## What this means for your answers Vakilat checks each citation in an answer against the judgments it holds. For the 11 years it holds in full against the Court's lists (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025), a citation it cannot find is reported as not found. For other years it tells you it could not check the citation, since the judgment may be one it does not hold yet. Searching and reading these judgments is free on every plan.
