Frequently asked questions about legal updates

What are the legal updates on this website?

They are links to the latest judgments and press releases that the Supreme Court of India publishes on its official website, together with this portal's own explainers on common petitions and procedures. The portal is an independent information resource. It is not a news service and does not give legal advice.

Where can I read the official text of a judgment?

The authoritative text is on the official website of the court that decided the case. Each Supreme Court item on this page opens the original document on sci.gov.in. High Court judgments are published on the official website of the High Court concerned, which the High Court directory on this portal links to.

How often are the updates refreshed?

The Supreme Court items are meant to refresh from sci.gov.in about once an hour. If the official website cannot be reached, the page shows the last verified list saved on this website. Dates shown are the dates published by the source.

Why does a category show no updates?

An item is listed only when it links to an official source or to a guide on this website. A category with no item is left empty instead of being filled with unverified content.

What is the difference between a judgment and a press release?

A judgment is the court's decision in a case, with its reasons. A press release is a statement that the court publishes about its own work, such as an event, a notice or an announcement. A press release is not a decision of the court.

How can I get legal updates by email?

No automated mailing list is connected to this website. The subscribe box opens your email app with a ready request addressed to the chambers, which you can send to ask to be added.

Is an update on this page legal advice?

No. An update, a title or a summary on this page is general information. A judgment applies to its own facts, and the law and procedure change. Read the original document and consult an advocate before acting on it.
