Kerala High Court to use Whatsapp for Communicating with Advocates and Litigants

The Kerala High Court has approved the use of WhatsApp as part of its Case Management System to make communication easier for lawyers and litigants.

From October 6, 2025, updates on e-filing defects, listing details, and proceedings will be shared through the platform in a phased rollout.

The Court clarified that this service is only an additional mode of communication, not a substitute for notices, summons, or other formal processes, unless specifically notified.

All official messages will be sent exclusively from the verified sender ID “The High Court of Kerala,” and users must cross-check information on the Court’s website to ensure authenticity.
