Walkthrough

A brief, start to finish.

The screens below are from the free edition, run on a small invented partition suit: a legal notice, its reply, the plaint and the written statement. No client's file appears anywhere on this site.

Step 1

Open a case and hand it the brief

A case is the whole brief: plaint, written statement, notices, annexures, the last order. Upload PDFs, Word files or scans together; a zip of the full paperbook is fine.

Every page is read, scanned pages go through OCR, and the text is indexed so that everything which follows can point to a page number.

The Nyaya-Vision home screen: the case list on the left and the document type choices, case bundle, contract, petition, court objection.
Choose the document type at the outset. A case bundle gets the chronology tools; a draft petition gets the pre-filing check. Click to open at full size.

Step 2

Generate the List of Dates and Events

One click reads the bundle and produces the chronology the court expects: date, event, source document, page. Every row opens the paragraph it was drawn from in the viewer beside it.

Each event carries a mark. Verified means the operative words were found on the cited page. Unverified means the model paraphrased something the page does not say in those terms. Treat an unverified entry as a junior's note, not as a citation.

The case workspace: the generated chronology on the left with dates, parties and context, the plaint open in the viewer on the right with the supporting passages highlighted.
The chronology beside its source. No entry is more than one click from the page that supports it. Click to open at full size.

Step 3

Search the brief the way you would search your memory

Type the word that matters, dementia, possession, limitation, and every passage in every document where it occurs is listed with its page. Any hit opens on either side of the split viewer.

Then put the question in plain English and get the answer with the document and page it rests on. If the answer is not in the brief, it says so, which is more than most summaries do.

Cross-document search for the word dementia, listing the written statement, the reply notice, the legal notice and the plaint, each with the page and the matching passage.
One search, every document, each hit with its page. Click to open at full size.

Step 4

Mark the record as you read it

Four colours: note, important, contradiction, citation. Highlights made in the viewer, or imported from a PDF you marked up last week, sit in one list with their page references. Excerpts clip a passage to a stack for the synopsis.

Both travel with the export, so the Excel and Word files carry your reading and not only the machine's.

The Annotations tab with the four-colour legend and the control for importing highlights from a PDF.
Four colours. Highlights already made in another PDF reader can be imported rather than redone. Click to open at full size.

Step 5

Check the petition before the Registry does

Drop the draft. The forum is read from the cause title and the draft is checked against the rules that apply there: verification affidavit, index and pagination, court fee memo, list of dates, prayer. Each defect is listed with the rule that makes it one, and graded by whether the petition would be returned or merely noted.

It runs on the local model only. The draft does not leave the machine.

The Petition Check page: drop a draft petition PDF, the forum is detected automatically, and about thirty checks run against the applicable rules on the local model.
Drop the draft, the forum is detected, the rules run locally. Click to open at full size.

Step 6

Read the rules the checks run on

Thirty-seven playbooks hold the rules, extracted from the statutes themselves and set out one to a line with the source. You can read exactly what a check tests for and why.

Contract audit runs the same playbooks against an agreement.

The Playbook Browser: statutory playbooks listed on the left, the 404 rules of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 set out one to a line on the right.
Every rule visible, every rule sourced. Click to open at full size.

Step 7

Draft from the record, not from memory

Drafting gives a first cut of a plaint, a reply, a synopsis or a conveyancing deed, built from what is in the case and from the statutes you list. It cites only what you tell it to cite.

Stamp duty comes from a table maintained by hand that records its source and the date it was checked. Where a state has not been verified, the draft says so rather than inventing a figure.

The Drafting tab: document type, forum, cause title, parties, reliefs sought and the statutes to rely on, with the choice between the local and cloud model.
Facts from the case, authority from you. The draft quotes the record and says what it could not verify. Click to open at full size.

Step 8

Translate the vernacular record

Documents in Hindi, Marathi and other Indian languages are translated on the machine into a bilingual worksheet, source beside English, paragraph by paragraph, with a blank certificate for the translator to sign.

The model is downloaded once; the tab shows which model, under which licence, at which revision. The Enterprise edition adds OCR (reading text from scanned pages) for Indian languages, so that scanned district-court records can be read at all.

The Translation tab: the script census of the case, and the one-time download of the IndicTrans2 model with its licence and revision shown.
One download, and the tab records the model, its licence and its revision. Click to open at full size.

Step 9

Keep the diary honest

Case Status Watcher takes the status page or office report you upload, extracts objections and listing dates, and gives you a calendar file. A date is scheduled only if it appears verbatim on the uploaded page; anything else is marked unverified.

Each entry shows how old the upload was and goes stale after fourteen days, because the cause list is the record and this is not.

The Case Status Watcher page: upcoming dates, the calendar export, and the note that it is user-driven with no automatic polling.
You upload when you check. Nothing polls the court's website on your behalf. Click to open at full size.

Step 10

File

Prepare for filing builds the paginated paperbook, writes the Order XXI list of dates and checks the bundle against the Registry's usual objections. The chronology exports to Excel, Word and PDF with links back to the source pages, an audit trail of the run, and your annotations and excerpts appended.

The free edition places a small Generated with Nyaya-Vision mark on exports. Pro and Enterprise exports carry none.

The Filing tab: prepare for filing builds the paginated paperbook, writes the Order XXI list of dates and checks the bundle against the Registry's common objections.
Paperbook, list of dates, Registry pre-flight. Click to open at full size.

Run it on a brief of your own.
