Samhita · the legal library
The whole record — every judgement, every provision, every notification — held so that a question, a citation or a section number resolves into an answer you can check. Cited to the paragraph, in your language.
Workspace
Judgements, statutes, notifications and treaties — with grounded citations, multi-language search, and a curated personal workspace.
Meaning-based retrieval with sub-query expansion and grounded source attribution.

What it holds
Most legal platforms quote a document count and stop. Ours is published in full — every High Court, every instrument type, every forum, including the parts that are thin.
Four ways in
Sometimes you have a question. Sometimes you know the shelf. Sometimes you have a client sitting in front of you and a set of facts. Sometimes the question is about the law itself rather than any one case.
One field over the whole corpus, semantic or exact. Narrow to Acts, Rules, Regulations, Supreme Court or High Court judgements, notifications, circulars, orders, schemes, policies, treaties, trade agreements or reports before you search, or search everything at once.
Corpus tabs rather than a search box: statutes, Supreme Court, all 25 High Courts, notifications and orders, international treaties, trade agreements and reports — each with its own filters and a search-within.
Instead of guessing the search terms, put in the facts — or the document — and get back the issues they raise, each one grouped with the provisions and authorities that bear on it.
Five lenses over the whole corpus — how a doctrine developed, where the High Courts disagree, how a bench decides, which parts of an Act are litigated, and which authorities hold the field.
The citator
The work that actually takes the afternoon is establishing whether an authority still stands, where it came from, and what the provision said on the date in question. That work is what Samhita is built around.
Every judgement that cites this one, aggregated by how it treated it.
Followed, applied, distinguished, doubted, overruled — the distinction that decides whether you can rely on it.
The outgoing chain: this case relied on that one, which relied on the other.
Lineage read forwards and backwards, so you can find the founding authority rather than the most recent restatement of it.
AIR, SCC, the neutral citation, the registry number — all resolve to the same judgement.
Paste what your senior wrote in the margin in 1998 and get the same record as the neutral citation.
Articles of the Constitution against how they have been treated, as a live matrix.
Which Articles are contested, which are settled, and where the Court last moved.
Section text as it stood on any date, with the amendment that changed it.
A cheque drawn in 2017 is governed by the section as it read in 2017, not as it reads today.
Sections of an Act that no Supreme Court judgement has ever cited.
The blank spaces on the map. Nobody looks for these, which is exactly why they are worth knowing about.
Analytics
The corpus is large enough to answer questions no single judgement can. These run across all of it.
How did this doctrine get here?
Doctrine PulseA doctrine's timeline from the founding case through expansion, limitation and restatement — with its current health and centre of gravity.Do the High Courts agree?
High Court ConflictSplit jurisprudence surfaced across all 25 High Courts, so you find out about the conflict before the other side raises it.How does this bench decide?
Bench PatternsA judge's Supreme Court profile — volume, outcome mix and the subjects they sit on most.Which parts of this Act are actually litigated?
Statute HealthSection-level heat across an entire Act — the provisions carrying the fight, and the ones nobody has ever tested.Which authorities hold the field?
Citation ConstellationThe authority graph — hubs, satellites and the cases climbing towards the centre.Twenty-two languages, and English
Every language of the Eighth Schedule. Search in one and read in another; ask in Malayalam about a judgement written in English and get the answer in Malayalam, with the citation unchanged.
English
Search, read and ask in English. The citation stays exactly as the court wrote it — only the reading changes.
Why you can use the answer
Nothing is summarised from memory. An answer cites the judgement, the section or the notification it rests on, each one resolving to a document you can open and read to the paragraph. Where the corpus cannot ground an answer, Samhita says so rather than producing one.
Alongside what you use now
Every comparison sets out where the other platform is strong and where Samhita takes a different approach.
Free to start. The whole corpus, cited, in your language.
Samhita is Jagriq's legal library: the Indian legal corpus plus everything that makes it answerable. Judgements from the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, the statute book broken down to individual provisions, tribunal and regulatory material, and a citation graph over all of it — searchable in your own words, browsable by shelf, and readable in your language.
A keyword database returns documents that contain your words. Samhita resolves what you asked. A citation resolves to a judgement and its treatment; a provision resolves to the section as it stood on a date, its amendment history and every Supreme Court reading of it; a question resolves against statute text and case law at the same time, cited to the paragraph.
Yes — that is the point of the citator. Samhita aggregates every judgement that cites a given one by how it treated it: followed, applied, distinguished, doubted or overruled. It also traces the outgoing chain, so you can walk back to the founding authority instead of stopping at the most recent restatement.
Tribunals are covered, and deliberately so. RERA authorities, Debt Recovery Tribunals, NCLT, CESTAT, CAT, the Railway Claims Tribunal and consumer commissions are where a large share of commercial and consumer practice actually happens, and they are the hardest part of the Indian record to collect.
All twenty-two languages of the Eighth Schedule, plus English — Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Maithili, Manipuri, Sanskrit, Nepali, Konkani, Santali, Kashmiri, Dogri, Bodo and Sindhi. You can search in one language and read in another; the citation stays exactly as the court wrote it.
Judgements are added on the day courts publish them, and cause lists refresh daily. The full detail — what arrived yesterday, court by court — is on the data coverage page.
Yes, in full. The data coverage page publishes real counts for every class of document: each High Court, every instrument type, every forum subtype, every tribunal family and every state — including the thin parts. Nothing on it is rounded or projected.
Only from the corpus. Every answer carries its citations, and each one resolves to a document you can open and read — the judgement, the section, the notification. If Samhita cannot ground an answer in the corpus, it says so instead of producing one.
No. Samhita stands on its own for research. It also sits underneath the rest of the platform, so the same matter you research here is the one being tracked, drafted and managed elsewhere — but you can start with research alone.
