High Court decisions matter in a way Supreme Court decisions do not: they are what the district courts in Delhi actually see cited across the desk. If your matter is being heard in Delhi, these are closer to your case than anything from Delhi or from the Supreme Court.

Figures are shown as the court wrote them, with the equivalent in today's money underneath wherever the gap is large enough to matter. Use the filters to narrow by provision, award type or outcome.

Reading the columnThe middle monthly award in this group, restated in today's money, is Rs 36,281. Half sit below it and half above. It is a median, not a target, and it says nothing about what any particular set of facts is worth.
