| `cnr` | string | Yes | CNR number of the case (e.g. 'KLHC010203672022', 'SCIN010425532018'). Obtain from search_cases results. |

### get_high_court_judgments

Retrieve judgments, eSCR, and orders from High Courts in India. Searches cases at High Courts and returns individual judgment/order documents with their metadata. Results are filtered from the general case search to include only High Court cases that have judgments or orders. Document URLs are included when available from the detail fetch (limited to first 5 cases per page for performance). Uses the same search index as search_cases but filters for High Court court codes and cases with judicial documents.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `court` | string | No | Filter by a specific High Court name (e.g. 'Kerala', 'Bombay', 'Delhi', 'Karnataka', 'Allahabad'). Partial match supported. If omitted, returns results from all High Courts. |
| `doc_type` | string | No | Filter by document type. |
| `from_date` | string | No | Filter documents issued on or after this date (ISO format YYYY-MM-DD). |
| `page` | integer | No | Page number (1-indexed) for paginated results. |
| `query` | string | No | Search query — party name, case number, offense keyword, or legal term. If omitted, defaults to 'High Court' to retrieve broad HC results. |
| `to_date` | string | No | Filter documents issued on or before this date (ISO format YYYY-MM-DD). |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/parse-ecourtsindia-com-api-84f6eb47/get_high_court_judgments \
