Early access · For advocates and law students
Indian law,
in your language.
Look up a section under the old criminal codes or the new ones, find judgments on your point, and check a case’s next date by CNR. Built for advocates in India’s district courts, and for the law students who will join them.

498A mein seedha arrest ho sakta hai? Naye law mein section kya hai?
Provision
Cruelty by husband or relatives: Section 85, BNS, formerly Section 498A, IPC. Arrest without warrant: Section 35, BNSS, formerly Sections 41 and 41A, CrPC.
Authority
Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar, (2014) 8 SCC 273. Arrest is not automatic in a 498A case. The police must satisfy the conditions in Section 41 and record their reasons, and a magistrate must not authorise detention mechanically.
Open the full judgment and the section text before you cite either.
What it does
Three tools for questions that come up every day.
Not a general chatbot pointed at law. Each tool does one job you would otherwise do with two statute books, a database login and the eCourts website.
Sections, old and new
Name a section or describe the offence. Get the provision with its counterpart across IPC↔BNS and CrPC↔BNSS, so an FIR under the new code and a judgment under the old one can be read side by side.
Section numbers come from our table of the bare acts, never from the AI’s memory.
2 creditsJudgments on your point
Describe the point of law in your own words, or name the case you have in mind. Get judgments with the court, the date and a link to the full text.
Name a case we don’t have and you are told so. Nothing is guessed.
2 creditsCase status by CNR
Send the 16-character CNR. Get the stage, the next hearing date, the court, the parties and the advocates on record.
1 creditIn your browser
Works on any phone or computer, with nothing to install. Your questions and answers stay in your account, so you can pick up where you left off.
On WhatsApp
Ask from the court corridor, on the phone you already carry. Link your number once and both channels share one account, one history and one balance.
On WhatsApp Not open yet
The same assistant on WhatsApp, for the court corridor. It isn’t open yet. Everyone who has signed up will hear when it is.
For advocates
For the hour before your matter is called.
District-court practice runs on short notice: a brief handed over in the morning, a bail matter listed for tomorrow, an FIR registered under codes that changed on 1 July 2024. Ley Legal is built for that hour.
Both section numbers, side by side
FIRs and chargesheets now cite BNS and BNSS. Most of the case law you rely on cites IPC and CrPC. Ask with either number and get both.
Authorities, asked in your own words
Type the issue the way you would put it to a colleague, such as
default bail, chargesheet not filed in 90 days
, and get judgments you
can open and read.
The next date, from your phone
Check a matter’s stage and next hearing by CNR, without working through the eCourts website on a small screen.
Hindi, English or Hinglish
Ask in the language you argue in. A question that mixes Hindi and English is expected, not an error.
For law students
Read the judgment, not just the guidebook.
Most LLB students learn their cases from notes and summaries, often because a paid database is out of reach. Ley Legal helps you find the section, open the judgment itself, and see how the old code maps to the new, on your phone and in your language.
- Old code, new code Your syllabus has moved to BNS and BNSS, but most of the judgments you will read still cite IPC and CrPC. Look up either and see both.
- Cases for assignments and moots Find judgments on a proposition, with court and date, and open the full text to follow the reasoning yourself.
- Follow a real matter Interning with an advocate? Check a case’s stage and next date by CNR.
- Research help, not a ghostwriter It helps you find and read the law. It is not built to write your assignment.
- More credits for students Verify with your college email ID or by uploading your student ID card, and start with 50 credits instead of 40.
IPC 302 ka BNS mein kaunsa section hai?
Punishment for murder
Section 103(1), BNS, formerly Section 302, IPC.
Definition of murder
Section 101, BNS, formerly Section 300, IPC.
Watch out
Section 302 of the BNS is a different provision: uttering words with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings. Never write “BNS 302” for murder.
Open the bare-act text before you put a section number in an answer script.

PlannedHow we check answers
An invented case is worse than no answer.
The Supreme Court has held that it is misconduct for an advocate to cite AI-generated judgments without verifying them.1 That is the standard Ley Legal is being built to. Here is each check, and whether it is live.
Ley Legal is in early access. Its answers can still contain mistakes, including a wrong section number or a case that does not exist. Read every authority in full before you rely on it.
- LiveNot yet A case you name is found, or reported as not found Give a case name or a citation and we look for that exact judgment. If it is not in our data, the answer says so instead of offering something close.
- LiveNot yet Section numbers come from the bare acts Section numbers and old-to-new mappings are read from our table of the acts, not written from the AI’s memory.
- LiveNot yet No answer, no charge If a search finds nothing, the credits go back to your balance.
- LiveNot yet Answers reviewed every week Every answer is logged. Each week a legal reviewer checks a sample against the source, and what they find decides what we fix next.
- LiveNot yet Every citation in an answer checked automatically Each citation matched against our own database of judgments before you see the answer.
1. Pooja Ramesh Singh v. Jammu and Kashmir Bank Ltd., 2026 INSC 668 (2 July 2026).
Mercy v. Mankind ka judgment bhejo
Result
No judgment titled Mercy v. Mankind was found in our data. Check the party names or the citation, or describe the point of law instead.
No credits were charged for this search.
Before you cite anything from Ley Legal
- Open the judgment and read the paragraph you are relying on.
- Match the citation: year, volume, reporter and page.
- Check it is still good law, not overruled and not reversed on appeal.
- For a section, check which code applies. Offences committed before 1 July 2024 are still charged under the IPC; whether the CrPC or the BNSS governs procedure depends on when the proceedings began.

Who is building this
Built to the standard of a regulatory report.
In regulatory reporting, a figure that cannot be traced back to its source is a failure, however good it looks. Ley Legal’s founder worked to that rule at Goldman Sachs, and it is the rule this product is being built to: an answer you cannot trace to a judgment or a section should not reach you.
Founder
Ex-Goldman Sachs, regulatory reporting
Spent 15 years at Goldman Sachs in financial regulation, working on regulatory reporting: the figures a bank submits to its regulators, where every number has to trace back to its source and stand up to audit.
Co-founder and CMO
Second-time founder
Has built a company before. Leads marketing at Ley Legal, and how it reaches advocates and law students.
Questions
Before you sign up.
Can I rely on the answers?
Treat them as the start of your research, not the end of it. Open every judgment and section Ley Legal gives you and read it before you rely on it. Ley Legal is in early access and its answers can be wrong. The Supreme Court has made clear that citing an AI-generated judgment without verifying it is misconduct.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a research tool. It does not advise, does not appear for anyone, and has no view on your case.
Which languages can I ask in?
English, Hindi and Hinglish, including the mix most people actually type.
I’m a law student. Can I use it?
Yes. Sign up as a student. Verify with your college email ID or by uploading your student ID card, and you start with 50 credits instead of 40. It is built to help you find and read the law, not to write your assignment.
Where do the judgments and case details come from?
Judgments: from what Indian courts publish. Each result links to the full text, so you can read it at source. Case status: from published eCourts records.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Ley Legal works in any modern browser on your phone or computer. You can also use it on WhatsApp.
What happens to my questions?
They are stored with your account, so your research history is there when you come back, and so we can review answers and fix mistakes. You can ask for your account and history to be deleted. The privacy notice explains how.
