Legal, Court & Criminal Checks

Criminal and legal background checks are essential for risk management across hiring, lending, tenant screening, and business partnerships. In India, where court records are distributed across thousands of district and high courts, accessing accurate legal information has traditionally been slow, expensive, and unreliable. digiverification changes this by providing instant, API-based access to criminal records, court cases, and litigation history.

Our Criminal Record Search API queries multiple databases to identify convictions, FIRs (First Information Reports), and pending criminal cases against an individual. This covers both district-level and state-level criminal records, providing a comprehensive picture of an applicant's criminal background. For employers in regulated industries — banking, financial services, education, healthcare — criminal background checks are not just best practice but often a regulatory requirement.

The eCourt Case Search API provides access to India's vast eCourt database, covering millions of active and historical cases across district courts, high courts, and tribunals. Businesses can search by name, case number, or other identifiers to discover pending litigation, civil disputes, and criminal proceedings. This is invaluable for lenders assessing borrower risk, real estate companies screening tenants, and enterprises evaluating potential partners.

CNR (Case Number Record) tracking enables real-time monitoring of specific cases. Once you have a CNR number, our API provides instant updates on case status, hearing dates, orders, and outcomes. This is particularly useful for legal teams, compliance departments, and lending institutions that need to monitor ongoing litigation involving their customers or counterparties.

Litigation History provides a comprehensive view of all legal proceedings associated with an individual or entity — including civil suits, consumer complaints, tax disputes, and arbitration cases. This holistic view helps businesses identify litigious individuals, assess legal risk, and make more informed decisions about partnerships, hiring, and lending.

digiverification 's legal verification APIs are designed to handle sensitive data with the highest levels of security and privacy. All searches are audit-logged, consent-based, and compliant with Indian privacy regulations. Results are delivered in structured formats that integrate seamlessly into existing risk assessment workflows, background verification platforms, and decision-making systems.

Whether you're a background verification company processing thousands of checks daily, a lender assessing borrower risk, or an enterprise screening vendors and partners, digiverification 's legal APIs provide the speed, accuracy, and coverage you need.
