The jhana legal data stack illustration

Data alone is not enough. Every judgment, statute, and notification becomes operational data — the base corpus that trains models to reason in Indian law, not just retrieve it.

Built for legal reasoning, not just search

  • Better than legacy databases, machine readable with accurate metadata
  • Better than generic AI, with no cut-off bias and grounded citation
  • Better than legal AI wrappers, with models trained on Indian law

Built for AI. Trained for India.

We structure primary law so models can reason in context, cite paragraphs, and speak the Indian law.

Structure

Paragraph-level precision
Pinpoint paragraphs, not pages. Cite the exact holding with anchors.
Cross-linked doctrine
Cases ↔ statutes stitched by citations, sections, and notifications.
Authority-aware retrieval
Supreme Court weighted above High Courts; overruled/distinguished tracked.
Indian legal language
Trained on pleadings and orders, not textbooks.

Scale

India's legal corpus

  • Paragraph anchors across jurisdictions
  • Entities normalized across millions of matters
  • Updates throughout the day from hundreds of courts
  • Bench composition & judge metadata
  • Bilingual corpus (English–Hindi), code-mix tolerant

The foundation that powers India's courts, now structured for AI.
