It cross-references all 2,299 provisions between the IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act and their new BNS, BNSS and BSA counterparts, with citing Supreme Court precedents, and checks citations with deterministic code that matches quotes word for word. It also ships an MCP server with 30 free calls a day, listed in the Claude Directory.
Plans: Free: five research runs, with searching and reading Supreme Court judgments free on every plan, and 5 GB of document storage. Advocate is ₹799 + GST a seat a month (25 research runs), Professional ₹1,599 + GST (3 deep research runs), Chambers ₹2,999 + GST (10 deep research runs).
Best for: Indian advocates and litigators researching under the new criminal codes. Who should skip it: lawyers outside India, since the content is Indian law.

- Indian law only: no use for lawyers practising elsewhere

Best for
Indian advocates and litigators researching under the new criminal codes. Who should skip it: lawyers outside India, and anyone who wants a general chatbot rather than checked Indian legal citations.
