As a YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) legal information platform, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of factual accuracy. Misinformation in law has real consequences.
Verification Principles
- Primary Source Requirement: Every factual claim must trace to a primary source — Bare Acts, Gazette notifications, Supreme Court or High Court judgments, or official PRS / India Code entries.
- Two-Source Rule: For articles and legal analysis, key facts are verified against at least two independent sources before publication.
- Recency Check: Every referenced act or section is checked for amendments, repeal, or replacement (e.g., IPC → BNS transition effective 1st July 2024).
- No AI-Generated Legal Claims: We do not publish AI-generated legal content without expert human review. AI tools may assist in formatting, but all substantive legal claims are verified by qualified professionals.
What We Verify
- ✓ Section numbers and titles against official Bare Act text
- ✓ Cross-act mappings (IPC↔BNS, CrPC↔BNSS, IEA↔BSA) against official concordance tables
- ✓ Judgment citations (case name, court, year, citation string) against court records
- ✓ Dates of enactment, enforcement, and amendment against Gazette notifications
- ✓ Punishment provisions and quantum against statutory text
- ✓ Hindi terminology against standard legal translations
When Uncertainty Exists
If a legal position is uncertain, contested, or subject to judicial interpretation, we explicitly state this. We do not present contested positions as settled law. Where courts have given conflicting interpretations, we present the range of views with citations.
