Questions about these guides

Are these legal articles free to read?

Yes. Every guide on this site is free and needs no sign-up. They explain Indian law in plain language so you can understand your position before you pay anyone.

Can I rely on an article instead of asking a lawyer?

No. The articles explain the general law and procedure, but outcomes turn on your facts, your documents and your state's practice. Use them to prepare for a consultation, not to replace one.

Which areas of law do the guides cover?

Criminal law under BNS, BNSS and the IPC; cyber crime and financial fraud; family and divorce; property, tenancy and registration; consumer disputes; cheque bounce; and NRI matters.

How often are the guides updated?

Guides are revised when the law or procedure changes, most recently for the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and BNSS replacing the IPC and CrPC. Each page shows its last update date.

Need legal help?

Advocate Panchanand Shaw represents clients before the Calcutta High Court and district courts, and handles cyber crime matters for clients across India.
