Legal Research
Research Indian judgments, statutes, regulations, tribunals and authorities using grounded legal intelligence.

From a question to authorities you can cite.
Authorities, not links
Precedents and provisions that answer the issue, ranked and explained.
Pinned to a paragraph
Every proposition ends in the judgment and paragraph it rests on.
Good law, checked
See how later decisions treated an authority before you cite it.

Legal Research works from DhiTantra’s own record of Indian law, never the open web. What it cannot match, it says so.
How answers are checked →Pinned to a paragraph
Every proposition ends in the judgment, section or circular it rests on, opened at the passage.
UNVERIFIED, where it stands
A citation it cannot match to a retrieved passage is flagged in place, never passed off as checked.
A person signs off
Output goes to review before it is filed, sent or relied on, and every step is in the audit trail.
Part of one Legal OS.
The same matter, papers and authorities move between products without being copied across.
