Editorial & Verification Policy
Our mission is to provide advocates, litigants, and Indian citizens with objective, mathematically rigorous, and certified judicial intelligence in plain language. Here is how we curate, synthesize, and verify our legal content.
1. Primary Source Grounding (Public Domain)
In accordance with Section 52(1)(q) of the Indian Copyright Act, 1957, judicial judgments and legislative texts are in the public domain. KanoonHQ grounds its legal briefs directly in certified primary records:
- Certified copies and official daily orders of the Supreme Court of India.
- High Court judgments and causelists published by the respective High Court Registries.
- Official statutory notifications from the Gazette of India and the India Code portal.
- Specialized tribunals including NCLAT, NGT, ITAT, and CCI.
2. Sourcing, Synthesis & AI Assistance
KanoonHQ uses artificial intelligence as an extraction and structuring tool, operating under strict legal guardrails:
- Zero Speculation: All summaries are restricted to the primary judgment headnotes, coram, and ratio decidendi.
- Statutory Concordance: Criminal law transitions (IPC to BNS, CrPC to BNSS, IEA to BSA) are validated against canonical legislative mapping tables.
- Human Oversight: Content is curated and verified by the KanoonHQ Legal Research Desk, supervised by licensed advocates.
3. Corrections & Dispute Resolution
Accuracy is critical for Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) legal civics. If an order has been modified, appealed, stayed, or contains a typographical error:
We issue transparent corrections with updated timestamps. To report an error or submit a certified clarification, contact our desk at editorial@kanoonhq.in.
