Indian court research index
BetaA searchable index of Indian judgments — read what it holds before you rely on it.
- ✓Filters — court, tribunal type (Supreme Court, High Court, NCLAT, NCLT, ITAT, CAT, SAT, consumer), subject, topic, state, year range
- ✓Daily ingest jobs for Supreme Court listings, ITAT orders and NCLAT judgments
- ✓Citation network with forward and backward chains where the underlying text exists
- ✓Draft-from-precedent — pass a clause type and get drafting language grounded in the retrieved material
What it is.
An index of Indian court and tribunal decisions, searchable by court, tribunal type, subject, topic and year. It is a genuine research aid and we would rather describe it precisely than sell it as something it is not.
What it holds is largely case metadata — case title, court, date, source link — not judgment text. Daily jobs bring in new Supreme Court listings, ITAT orders and NCLAT judgments; High Court, NCLT, CAT and SAT material is loaded by our team rather than by a scheduled job. Full judgment text arrives through a commercial licensing route that is wired and not yet switched on in production. Treat search results as leads to the official report, not as a substitute for reading it.
Three steps.
End to end.
A natural-language query, filtered by court, tribunal type, subject, topic, or year range.
You get the case identity and a link to the source. Where we hold no judgment text, we say so rather than paraphrasing something we do not have.
Send any citation to the verification endpoint. A judgment citation caps at ambiguous by design — see Citation verification for why.
What you get.
- ✓Filters — court, tribunal type (Supreme Court, High Court, NCLAT, NCLT, ITAT, CAT, SAT, consumer), subject, topic, state, year range
- ✓Daily ingest jobs for Supreme Court listings, ITAT orders and NCLAT judgments
- ✓Citation network with forward and backward chains where the underlying text exists
- ✓Draft-from-precedent — pass a clause type and get drafting language grounded in the retrieved material
- ✓A separate, genuinely strong asset: the Income Tax Act 1961 to 2025 concordance, 80 confidence-graded mappings with a resolver that refuses to invent a destination section
Quick answers.
Nowhere near. This is an index of a few thousand decisions, weighted heavily towards recent Supreme Court listings, and for most of them we hold metadata rather than the judgment text. If completeness of the reported corpus is what you are buying, buy a corpus product.
No. Those three have no ingest path and are not search options. The tribunal filter offers Supreme Court, High Court, NCLAT, NCLT, ITAT, CAT, SAT and consumer fora.
Not on the judgment index — it is not tagged by clause type. Clause type is an input to precedent-grounded drafting, and clause tagging exists on your own contracts, not on judgments.
Not today. There is no as-of date exposed in the API, which is a gap we would rather name than paper over.
