I've taken subscription of Indian Kanoon. It is so massively helpful and it beats SCC at times.

Let me rephrase it. It beats the hell out of SCC at times.

You get court copy just like that too.

A recent Delhi HC judgment directed @indiankanoon, search engines such as @GoogleIndia @MicrosoftIndia @XCorpIndia to disable name-based searches for court orders in certain cases. The records still exist. But, try finding an Indian court record on the internet without using the litigant's name (!) The Supreme Court is now hearing appeals against the judgment. The right to be forgotten is a compelling idea. But should it create an obligation for everyone else to forget that a case happened?

My column in @ThePrintIndia last week argues that disabling name based searches and masking litigants' names in court records has adverse consequences for commerce, research and access to justice. Moreover, public records shouldn't be harder to access merely because they're uncomfortable. Video explainer here, written version in thread:

Sr. Adv. Arvind Datar, appearing for @indiankanoon, submitted that impugned judgment presently operates only against the Appellant, while other legal databases continue to function unrestricted. An earlier hearing of the connected appeals was sought on this basis. (1/n)

This is good.

In this judgement, the HC has hyperlinked all the precedents to either SC website or @indiankanoon . (Even if citations are of SCC :P).

My piece in @the_hindu today where I argue that accessibility of the law is a major problem as laws are scattered across websites and Govt still uses decades old format of PDF to print Gazettes. We need to modernize and adopt Open Standards for bridging the democratic deficit.

[Indian Kanoon @indiankanoon]

A large part of legal research is in understanding the judgments that one cites for precedent and sometimes even how to critique the precedents that opposing lawyer uses to support their views. It is a laborious task and involves thinking about the judgment along with other precedents around that decision.

While lawyers acumen and knowledge in the field is hard to replicate, we have built a tool called Case Recast AI, that audits a court order based on the legal context that existed up to the day the order was passed. You get an issue-by-issue verdict with traffic-light soundness ratings (🟢 Sound → 🔴 Vulnerable), a dedicated look at the questions the facts raised that the judgment never reached, and the alternative holdings the record could have  supported — including ones no party or judge ever argued. Each authority it  cites carries a verified Indian Kanoon link, so you can check the reasoning against the source in one click.

We store an analysis that is generated and it stays consistent across users. You can follow up with your own questions on any issue, gap, or alternative holding. We believe that the tool is useful only after you have fully read the judgment. Hence, we ask every user to accept a short one-time notice before their first recast to understand the recast better and we also remind users to verify everything before relying on it.

Hoping you all enjoy Recasting the cases!
