Our purpose
The law belongs
to everyone.
Finding it should, too.
OpenNyaya is working towards a more open way to find and understand Indian court judgments.
We’re starting with the Supreme Court, and building with the people who work with the law every day.
Our vision
To make Nyaya
open and free to everyone.
Access to the law should not depend on knowing exactly which words to type.
What we’re working towards
Relevant case law.
Reasons to trust it.
These are the principles guiding what we build. Your experience helps us decide where to focus.
- 01
Search the way you think.
You may remember a legal issue without remembering the exact language of a judgment. We’re working towards search that understands the substance of your question.
- 02
Understand the authority.
Finding a judgment is only the beginning. How later benches treated it matters. Our aim is to make that history easier to follow.
- 03
Go back to the source.
A useful research result should let you check where a proposition comes from. We’re building towards a clear path to the relevant paragraph.
- 04
Keep the details exact.
Case names, citations and statutory references are essential to legal research. Our approach is to preserve them from source material, rather than generate them.
- 05
Make the law more accessible.
A search is only as useful as the judgments it can reach. We’re starting with Supreme Court judgments, with broader access as our ambition.
