How it works
Read it in full
The complete text of the judgment, not a headnote and not a summary, with the bench and the legislation it turns on listed alongside.
Take it with you
Export the judgment as DOCX or PDF, or print it, and carry it into your brief.
Key capabilities
Free and open
Judgments are public record, so reading them here costs nothing. You do not need an account and there is no paywall.
Browse the way lawyers think
By court, by year, by the judge who wrote it, or by the Act it construes. Useful when you know the shape of what you want but not its name.
Full text, properly laid out
Paragraph numbering and structure are preserved, so a paragraph you cite is the paragraph the court wrote.
Export in one click
DOCX, PDF or print, from the judgment page itself.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to read judgments?
No. The case law section is open to anyone. An account is needed only for the workspace tools, including the Research search that runs inside it.
Which courts are covered?
Supreme Court of India judgments, browsable by court, year, judge and the Act in issue. Coverage grows as more of the corpus is processed.
How is this different from Research inside the workspace?
This is a free browsable corpus you read directly. Research is a paid tool inside your workspace that takes a description of your issue in plain language and finds judgments on it, including ones that never use your words.
Can I use a judgment from here in a filing?
Export it as DOCX or PDF and cite it as you would from any report. Verify the citation against the official reporter before you file, as you would with any source.
Is there an offline option?
Yes. NYAYA is a free desktop application that downloads Supreme Court and High Court judgments to your own machine for full text search with no internet connection.
