About Saul
Saul is a legal research and learning tool for Indian law. You ask in your own words; it answers in plain words, shows an example of the law at work, and puts the exact section the answer rests on beside it.
Who it is for
Anyone practising or learning Indian law, and anyone who needs to understand it: an advocate checking what a pleading rests on, a student who has to apply a provision rather than recite it, and someone trying to work out where they stand on a problem of their own.
What Saul does
- Answers in plain words. Ask about an Act, a section or a situation. The answer comes first, in everyday words, with each legal term explained as it appears — or as short notes, a breakdown of a provision's ingredients, or a quiz.
- Examples that show the law working. The Act's own illustrations retold, a case walked through each requirement, and the point where the rule stops applying.
- The source, one tap away. The section's exact text sits beside every answer, so you can read the law itself rather than take the explanation on trust.
- Reading the statute book. Search any Act and read it section by section. Searching and reading the law is never charged for.
- Case law beside the answer. Supreme Court judgments on the provision, marked where a later judgment overruled one.
- Briefing a judgment. Upload a judgment or case file for a case note: the facts, issues, decision, reasoning and the provisions that govern it, with every quotation checked against your document.
- Learning it, and keeping it. Flashcards from any Act, brought back just before you forget them, and answer-writing practice marked against the provision itself.
What it covers
Central Acts, including the Constitution and the new criminal codes (the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam), and State Acts from across India: today 6,105 Acts and 173,815 sections from 36 jurisdictions, with 43,813 Supreme Court judgments. Beside them are SEBI's orders and RBI's Master Directions, each cited to the page or paragraph it comes from.
The statutory text comes from India Code, the Government of India's official database. Each section shows when it was fetched, and a weekly check compares the principal Acts against India Code. A recent amendment may not be there yet, so confirm against the official copy before relying on a provision.
How an answer is built
Saul finds the provisions first, from the text of the Acts it holds, and the answer is written from them. Before you see it, it is checked:
- Every section the answer names is checked against the text it was written from. One that isn't there is flagged in the answer, never hidden.
- A quotation that drifts from the Act is put back in the Act's own words, or flagged if it matches nothing.
- Repealed law is never passed off as current. Ask about IPC 420 and you are told it is now the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
The role of AI, and its limits
The answers are written by a language model, run by the AI providers named in the privacy notice. The checks above catch a section that does not exist and a line that was misquoted. They cannot make an explanation right in every respect: a model can still misread a provision, or miss the fact that makes your situation different. Read the section itself, and confirm it against the official copy on India Code, before you rely on it.
Legal information, not legal advice
Saul explains what the law says and how it works. It does not advise on your case, and it is not a law firm or an advocate. For advice on a real matter, speak to an advocate. If you need free legal aid, NALSA's helpline is 15100.
Your questions and documents
Your questions are kept in your conversations so you can come back to them, and you can delete them. Uploaded files are never stored; what Saul writes from them is saved in your conversation, like every answer. The privacy notice has the detail.
