Live stats from the National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG)

Objective

To capture the value of six counter widgets that are present on the NJDG dashboard.

What's inside cases.txt ?

1. Total Civil Cases
2. Total Criminal Cases
3. Total Cases
4. Civil Cases more than 1 year old
5. Criminal Cases more than 1 year old
6. Total Cases more than one year old

Note

• The numbers will be updated on a set frequency. Currently the script runs twice a day to check if the numbers are updated on the NJDG portal.
• The script only checks the numbers for the District Courts and not the High Courts. Though one can follow the exact same logic to capture those values as well.
