Review of IndianKanoon.com

By Vipin Agnihotri

Good news for all of you who are interested in getting details about Indian laws and its interpretation. New portal IndianKanoon.com has come into the fray. This portal acts as a search engine for Indian laws and court judgements.

It has been noticed that in India you have to pay loads of money to the lawyers if you are interested in getting some information out from them. With the help of this portal, not only you will save money but you also do need to contact the lawyer. You can get the information from the comfort of your home.

The main objective of IndianKanoon.com is to bring the knowledge of law to the common people. IndianKanoon.com accomplishes it by breaking law documents into smallest possible clause. In addition, it also integrates law/statutes with court judgments. No one is going to argue with the fact that a tight integration of court judgments with laws allows automatic evaluation of the most relevant clauses and court judgments.

In my opinion, IndianKanoon.com play a prominent part in assisting people to search regarding Indian laws and their interpretations. Indiankanoon.com sources data from indiacode.nic.in and all Supreme Court judgments from judis.nic.in. The forum of IndianKanoon.com is also top class.

The India Street rating: 8/10
