Question 1

How is AI case search different from Indian Kanoon?

Accepted Answer

Indian Kanoon uses keyword matching — you need to know exact terms. LawCentral AI understands your legal question semantically. Ask "can a tenant be evicted for subletting?" and it finds relevant cases even if they don't use those exact words. It also ranks results by relevance and court hierarchy.

Question 2

Can I search cases by party name or citation number?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can search by party name (e.g., "Maneka Gandhi"), citation number (e.g., "AIR 1978 SC 597"), or describe your legal issue in plain language. The AI handles all three formats.

Question 3

How many cases does the database contain?

Accepted Answer

LawCentral searches across lakhs of Supreme Court and High Court judgments sourced from official court databases and Indian Kanoon. The corpus is continuously updated as new judgments are published.
