 ABSTRACT

Drafting, pleading, and Conveyance are the 3 fundamental aspects of legal practice, essential
for effective communication and representation in various legal matters. Drafting involves the
preparation of legal documents such as contracts, wills, agreements, and notices, ensuring
clarity, precision, and adherence to legal standards. Pleading refers to the written statements
submitted by parties in a legal proceeding, such as plaints, written statements, or petitions,
which outline claims, defenses, and facts to establish a case in court. Conveyance deals with
the transfer of legal title of property from one person to another through documents like sale
deeds, lease agreements, or gift deeds, ensuring compliance with property laws and avoiding
future disputes, therefore to mastery in these areas requires not only legal knowledge but also
strong language skills and attention to detail, as they form the backbone of effective legal
advocacy and documentation.The preparation of pleadings such as plaints, written statements,
bail applications, and petitions enables lawyers to present their clients’ cases with clarity,
precision, and adherence to legal principles. Each document is meticulously crafted to reflect
the core of the client’s claims or defenses, laying a solid foundation for the legal proceedings
that follow. In contrast, conveyance focuses on transactional matters, ensuring that documents
like sale deeds, lease agreements, gift deeds, and mortgage deeds are accurately drafted to
safeguard the interests of all parties and prevent future disputes.

Through its Director
Shri Raheel Agarwal
… Defendant

SUIT FOR RECOVERY OF ₹3,00,000/- (Three Lakhs Only) UNDER ORDER

XXXVII OF CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, 1908

MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH:

1. That the Plaintiff is a company duly incorporated under the Companies Act, having its
registered office at Salt Lake, Sector-5, Kolkata, West Bengal. Shri Anjum Dey, the Director
of the Plaintiff company, is duly authorized to sign and verify the plaint, vakalatnama, and
to institute the present suit on behalf of the Plaintiff.
2. That the Plaintiff-company is engaged in the business of construction and infrastructure
development and has a reputed standing in the industry.
3. That the Defendant is a company incorporated under the Companies Act, having its
registered office in Kolkata, and its Administrative Office is also located in Kolkata, which
falls within the jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court.
4. That in August 2024, the Defendant approached the Plaintiff for a loan of ₹3,00,000/-,
promising to repay the same within three months. Based on trust and business relations, the
Plaintiff transferred the amount to the Defendant via bank transaction (UPI Ref: 123456789)
on 17th August 2024.

5. That on 17th August 2024, when the repayment was due, the Plaintiff requested the
Defendant to return the amount. However, despite repeated verbal and written requests, the
Defendant failed to make the payment.

7
6. That upon repeated follow-ups, the Defendant issued Cheque No. 213456 dated 20.11.2024
for ₹3,00,000/- drawn on Punjab National Bank, Dalhousie, Kolkata in favour of the
Plaintiff. However, when the Plaintiff presented the said cheque for encashment, it was
dishonoured due to insufficient funds.
7. That the Plaintiff immediately informed the Defendant about the dishonour of the said
cheque and called upon the Defendant to make the payment of the said amount along with
interest @18% per annum. However, despite several reminders, the Defendant failed to make
the payment.
8. That the Plaintiff, therefore, issued a legal notice dated 1st December 2024 to the Defendant,
demanding repayment of ₹3,00,000/- along with interest @18% per annum. However, the
Defendant has failed to comply with the notice, necessitating the filing of this suit.
9. That the Defendant is now liable to pay a sum of ₹3,00,000/- along with interest @18% per
annum from 20.11.2024 till the date of filing of this suit.
10. That the cause of action in favour of the Plaintiff and against the Defendant first arose on
17th August 2024, when the Plaintiff granted the loan to the Defendant. It further arose on
17th November 2024, when the repayment was due and the Defendant defaulted. The cause
of action further arose on 20th November 2024, when the Defendant issued the cheque, and
again on 22nd November 2024, when the said cheque was dishonoured. The cause of action
continues to arise as the Defendant has failed to make payment despite legal notice dated 1st
December 2024.
11. That this Hon’ble Court has jurisdiction to entertain this suit as the agreement for the loan
was made in Kolkata, the cheque was drawn on a Kolkata-based bank, and the Defendant
has its Administrative Office in Kolkata.
12. That the suit is within the period of limitation as per the Limitation Act, 1963.
13. That the value of this suit for the purposes of court fee and jurisdiction is ₹3,00,000/-, and
appropriate court fees have been affixed as per the Court Fees Act, 1870.
14. That this suit is filed under Order XXXVII of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, as the claim
is based on a dishonoured cheque and the liability of the Defendant is clear and definite.

PRAYER
It is therefore most respectfully prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to:
(a) Pass a decree for ₹3,00,000/- (Three Lakhs Only) with interest @18% per annum from
20.11.2024 till the date of filing of this suit in favour of the Plaintiff and against the Defendant;
(b) Award pendente lite and future interest at the rate of 18% per annum on ₹3,00,000/- from
20.11.2024 till the actual realization of the amount;
(c) Award costs of the suit in favour of the Plaintiff and against the Defendant; and
(d) Pass such other and further order(s) as may be deemed fit and proper on the facts and
circumstances of this case.

BEFORE THE LEARNED XITH BENCH

SUIT NO ……………. OF 2025

In the Matter of:

Anjum Builders Pvt. Ltd.

A Company Incorporated Under The
Companies Act, Having Its Registered Office
At Salt Lake, Sector-5, Kolkata, West Bengal.
Through its Director
Shri Anjum Dey
… Plaintiff
VERSUS
Raheel Brands And Lifestyle Company
A Company Incorporated Under The
Companies Act, Having Its Registered
Office At DN-51, Salt Lake City, Sector-5, Kolkata
Through its Director
Shri Raheel Agarwal
… Defendant
WRITTEN STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE DEFENDANT

MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH:

a. That the Defendant denies the contents of Para No. 4 and 5 of the Plaint as incorrect,
false, and misconceived, and puts the Plaintiff to strict proof as per Section 101 of
the Indian Evidence Act, 1872.
b. That the Defendant admits the contents of Para No. 3 of the Plaint to be true and
correct to the extent that the Defendant is a company incorporated under the
Companies Act with its administrative office in Kolkata.
c. That the Defendant states that the Plaintiff has not approached this Hon’ble Court
with clean hands and has suppressed material facts, violating the principle of equity
and good conscience as enshrined in Section 23 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
d. That the Defendant has already complied with the agreement and the Plaintiff’s
allegations regarding non-payment are baseless and devoid of merit as per Section
37 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The construction work was completed with
certain defects and delays, for which the Defendant had already raised objections and
withheld the final payment as per the agreed terms.
e. That the Plaintiff’s claim regarding the dishonored cheque is false and misleading.
The Defendant had issued the cheque on 20.11.2024, but the same was to be
deposited only upon rectification of pending construction defects, which the Plaintiff
failed to address

11
 despite repeated reminders.
f. That the present suit is barred by limitation under the Limitation Act, 1963, as the
cause of action arose on 20.11.2024, and the present suit was filed after the prescribed
period of 3 years, making it time-barred.
g. That this Hon’ble Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the present suit as per Section
20 of CPC, 1908, as the primary transaction was conducted at Chandigarh, and the
payment was due there. The mere fact that the Plaintiff’s office is in Kolkata does
not confer jurisdiction upon this Hon’ble Court.
h. That the present suit is liable to be dismissed with exemplary costs under Section
35A of CPC, 1908 for being vexatious and baseless, as the Plaintiff is misusing the
legal process to harass the Defendant. The Plaintiff is attempting to extract an undue
advantage despite its own failure to fulfill contractual obligations.

PRAYER
In view of the above, it is most respectfully prayed that this Hon’ble Court may kindly:
a) Dismiss the present suit with costs under Section 35A of CPC, 1908.
b) Grant such other reliefs as the Hon’ble Court deems just and proper in the circumstances
of this case.

India seeking an appropriate writ, order or direction for quashing the order/notices dated

28.12.2023 issued by the respondent to the Petitioners herein, which are highly arbitrary,

illegal and issued with a predetermined mind to settle individual grudges of

Taxation Department, carried out an inspection of the premises of the petitioner and

witnessed all activities going on at the place and seized advertisement brochures along with

all the relevant documents like the bill books the stock register and other documents.

before the officer with all the books and the relevant documents, to explain the documents

which were taken into custody by the Excise & Taxation department.

the demanded books and documents to explain all whatever is been asked from the

petitioner. Officer in furtherance to which the concerned officer further issued a notice dated

17.11.2023 to the petitioner seeking some more information to assess whether the

petitioner’s business and activities carried out at the place of business come under the

purview of entertainment tax as per the Entertainment Act and rule 1955, and therefore

directed the petitioner to appear before the concerned officer on 22.11.2023 with relevant

documents in petitioners support.

6. That on 23.11.2023 the Excise & Taxation Officer-cum-Assessing Authority, even date

pronounced its verdict regarding the issue related to the assessment of taxes especially to

the tune of entertainment tax, whether the petitioner comes under the.

through the proper rules and relevant sections of the act it was specifically held that

the activities of the owner were not covered under the definition of Entertainment as

per the Punjab Entertainment Act 1955.

7. However, to the utter shock and surprise of the petitioners, the Respondent sent a notice for

a fine of 10,00,000/-

8. It is further important to consider the fact that the Petitioner adheres with all the

requirements asked by the authority from time to time without any delay.

9. It is submitted that the respondent is highly arbitrary, illegal, and issued with a

predetermined mind to settle individual grudges of one of the officers.

10. The Petitioners having no other alternative and efficacious remedy have approached this

any other petition on the same cause of action either itself or through anybody else. It is also

totally against the public interest and the fundamental rights of the Petitioner. Hence the

Petitioner is filing this petition on the following amongst other grounds.

GROUNDS

1. Because the instrumentality of the respondent is expected to act in the most fair, reasonable,

and transparent manner. But this action of the Respondent of not clearly goes to show their

high-handed and arbitrary attitude towards the Petitioner.

2. The Respondent is well aware of the fact that the. Hence in the interest of the

3. petitioner, the decision needs to be reviewed.

4. Because the action of the respondent by the notice coercing highly illegal and arbitrary.

26
5. Because it is important to consider that the Respondent Board has not only been acting in a

high-handed, and reckless manner but also in a very negligent manner

6. which is very evident from the fact that the Respondent Board has failed to respond to the

various grounds. This goes to show the attitude of the Respondent towards their primary

duty.

7. Because the facts in the present matter reveal that the decision taken by the Respondent

violates the fundamental rights under Articles 14 & 21 of the Constitution of India.

8. Because the action of the Respondent Board is illegal on grounds of non-application of

mind, arbitrariness, unreasonableness and for the fact that it has taken into account irrelevant

considerations and omitted relevant considerations and is further illegal and violative of the

rules.

PRAYER:

Therefore, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case it is most humbly and

respectfully prayed that this Hon’ble Court may graciously be pleased to:

1. issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order, or direction to quash and set

aside the order/notice issued by the Respondent,

To,

THE HON’BLE PRINCIPLE JUDGE AND THE OTHER

JUDGES OF THIS HON’BLE COURT,

THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE PETITIONER ABOVENAMED MOST

RESPECTUFLLY SHEWETH

The Petitioner above named respectfully submits as under:

1. That the marriage of the parties to the present petition was solemnized at Arya Samaj

Mandir, Karol Bagh, New Delhi as per Hindu rights and ceremonies. The parties were

married on 27th July 2014. Neither the Petitioner nor the Respondent belong to a

scheduled tribe under Section 2(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.

2. That the status, age and place of residence of the parties to the marriage before the marriage

and at the time of filing the petition were/are as follows:

Unmarried Delhi, Delhi 110075

At the time of Hindu 36 Plot 19, Sector 4,

filing the petition Dwarka,
Married Delhi, 110078

3. The marriage was duly consummated and out of this wedlock a female child namely,

Pratiksha was born on 21st February 2017. Their daughter is currently and has always

been under the care and custody of the Petitioner alone.

4. The parties herein met through a common family acquaintance and an engagement party

was organised on 16th December 2013. After the marriage on 27th July 2014, the

Petitioner and Respondent went to Bali for their honeymoon. During the honeymoon

itself, the Respondent would leave the Petitioner alone at late night in a foreign country

to visit clubs without any notice.

5. Within three months of their marriage, on October 2014, the Respondent and his parents
pressurised the Petitioner to gather funds to purchase

38
 an SUV for them. The amount demanded was Rupees Twenty lakhs. The Petitioner

stood her ground and refused to yield to the demand due to the fact that her family has

already borne every cost for the wedding, the total amounting to Rupees Fifty lakhs.

Upon hearing this, the Respondent aggressively slapped the Petitioner which caused

a bruise near her eye.

6. Unfortunately, this cruel treatment continued throughout the course of the marriage. On

December 2014, the Respondent decided to stop sharing a room with the Petitioner. The

Petitioner was denied cohabitation in the same room and had to sleep in a separate

room.

7. The Respondent further became unresponsive to the Petitioner’s essential rights

and demands during the same month.

8. In the month of December 2014, the Petitioner was also continuously deprived of

one of the necessities of marriage by the Respondent. The husband had grown

extremely reluctant towards maintaining any sort of physical relationship with the

Petitioner for no reason. The Petitioner had attempted to reconcile, however the

Respondent never cooperated in her endeavours and continued to neglect the

essential of the marriage and the needs of the Petitioner.

9. The Petitioner decided to leave the matrimonial house and returns to her parental

home after a year of their marriage due to the mistreatment cruelty inflicted upon her

by the Respondent mentioned in the above paragraphs.

10. Neither the Respondent nor his family attempted to make any sort of communication
or reconciliation and address the cruelty inflicted upon

39
 the Petitioner. The reconciliation happened only due to the societal pressure upon the

family in the month of December 2015. The husband and his family promised to put forward

no demands and to treat her without cruelty to the Respondent in order to bring her back

to the matrimonial home.

11. During their cohabitation, the Petitioner became pregnant and when she revealed it to

the Respondent and his family in the month of July 2016, they demanded her to undergo

a gender determination test. After refusing to comply with the same, the Respondent

pushed his wife who was in her first trimester of pregnancy across the room. Luckily,

the Petitioner was able to maintain her balance and no injuries were sustained as

a result of this cruel behaviour.

12. In order to escape from such a dangerous living space for her unborn child, the Petitioner

returns to her paternal home. During this period, the Respondent did not attempt any

communication or make any enquiry about the well-being of his wife, or the status of

her pregnancy.

13. On the 21st of February 2017, a daughter Pratiksha was born. The Petitioner had
to endure the delivery phase, where mental and physical faculties are challenged, on
her own without any support from the

Respondent.

14. After the delivery of the child, the Respondent did not even visit the Petitioner or the
new born daughter. Further he did not even partake in the medical expenses incurred
by the wife.

15. After two months of abstinent from his family and his responsibilities, the Respondent
eventually decided to visit the Petitioner on April 2017

40
 and asked her to return to the matrimonial home.

16. In the month of July 2017, upon the Petitioner’s request, the Respondent

agreed to shift with their new born daughter to a new home in Dwarka itself. The house

was situated at Plot 19, Sector 4, Dwarka, Delhi, 110078.

17. Thereafter, since the month of August 2017 to July 2018, for nearly a year, the
Respondent treated the Petitioner with cruelty on several instances namely:

• Hurled abuses at her and her family on a regular.

• Locked the Petitioner and Pratiksha in the bathroom if she cried during the
night.

• Regularly taunted the Petitioner for not birthing a baby boy.

• Threatened to marry someone else who would be able to bear a baby boy.

• Made the Petitioner cut of all communication with her friends and family.

• Disallowed the maternal family of Pratiksha to meet her.

• Deprived her of food and water for a stretch of two days.

18. In addition to all this, the parties despite living in the same house, lived separate lives

since they moved in the new rented home as the Respondent would treat

their home as a hotel and stay there intermittently as and when she desired to

do so.

19. The petitioner upon receiving such treatment, decided to leave her matrimonial
home along with her daughter for the last time. Both the parties have been living
separately since August 2018.

41
20. The parties have not been able to reconcile their differences. The marriage has

been broken irretrievably on account of temperamental differences and physical as

well as mental ill treatment of the Petitioner by the Respondent. The Petitioner has

not in any manner been an accessory to or connived at or condoned the acts

complained about herein.

21. That the relationship between the parties had deteriorated to such an extent that it has
become impossible for them to live together without mental agony, torture or distress.

22. There has not been any unnecessary or improper delay in filing of the petition.

23. The Petitioner has not condoned by any act of cruelty on the part of the

Respondent.

24. The Petitioner has paid the requisite court fees of Rs. 100 and the process fees of
Rs. 50.

25. There has not been any previous proceeding with regard to the marriage by or on behalf of
the party.

26. There is no legal ground why the relief should not be granted.

27. The parties were married at Karol Bagh, New Delhi, within the local limits of the

jurisdiction of this Hon’ble court and hence, the Petitioner humbly submits that this

Hon’ble court has the jurisdiction to entertain this petition.

28. It is therefore humbly prayed:

a) That the marriage between the Petitioner and Respondent solemnised

on 27th July 2014 be dissolved by a decree of divorce

42
 under Section 13 (1) (ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.

b) That the custody of the minor daughter be handed over to the

Petitioner.

c) That the Respondent is subjected to child maintenance.

d) For such further orders and relief as this Hon’ble Court may deem

fit and proper as per the facts and circumstances of this case. Solemnly

affirmed in Delhi on the tenth day of November, 2019

not committed any offence much less the offence punishable by death or life

imprisonment. That the applicant was arrested by the police on 14.12.2018

section 8(C), 21 of NDPS Act, 1985, but the there is no any cogent evidence

with the Investigation officer to prove any alleged offence against the

made at the time of his arrest.

miserably failed to comply the mandatory procedure under section 42 of the

NDPS Act.

f. That when the Applicant/accused was arrested, the “Gard Powder” having

light colour was shown to be seized from the Applicant. That 33 Gms

accused/Applicant can be enlarged on the bail.

her mother and sister had come to Delhi. The mother of the child victim was working as domestic
aid at the residence of the Applicant. As she hails from a village in Jharkhand, she and both her
daughters including the victim child used to reside at the house of Applicant only.

4.Approximately a month back from the registration of the present case FIR, mother of the victim
child had to travel back to Jharkhand to attend to her minor son who had fallen drastically ill. She
left both her daughters behind at Delhi, and went to attend to her son. The victim child wanted to
go with her mother, but was left behind at Delhi only due to financial constraints. Consequently, the
child was homesick.

5.On the day of alleged incident, the victim child being alone at home tried to escape from the
house to go to her mother and while trying to escape through the balcony of the house, which is
situated at first floor of the complex, she encountered a fall and sustained injuries in such attempt.

76
6.The Applicant reiterates that he has been falsely and deliberately implicated in the present case,
to which vague and superfluous allegations under POCSO Act have been added to increase the
gravity of the offence.

7.That the impropriety of the allegations is apparent from the fact that such activities have been
alleged to have been committed under the watch of the mother and sister of the victim child.

8.The Applicant apprehends that on the basis of the allegations contained in the said case FIR, the
police authorities are likely to arrest/ detain him. The Applicant is a respectable citizen of this country
and has established reputation in the locality in which he stays.

9.No recovery is to be effected from or at the instance of the Applicant, and therefore, his custodial
interrogation is not necessary. The Applicant undertakes to join investigation as and when directed
by this Hon’ble Court and to extend his full cooperation to the police.

10.That co-accused namely Chitra Shahi has been granted interim protection in the present case FIR
by the Hon’ble Delhi High Court vide order dated 01/10/2018. True copy of said order is annexed
herewith and marked as Annexure-B.

11.It is humbly submitted that co-accused persons Chitra Shahi and Dhriti Shahi have already
joined investigation in the present case FIR. Therefore, there is no apprehension of Applicant fleeing
from investigation if released on bail by this Hon’ble Court.

12.The victim child along with her sister has been staying at Nirmal Chhaya since registration of
the present case FIR, and therefore, there is no probability of Applicant trying to influence the
witnesses or tampering with evidence.

13.It has been categorically laid down by the Apex Court in the landmark judgment of Arnesh
Kumar v. State of Bihar & anr. (Crl. A. No. 1277 of 2014) that:

“…All the State Governments to instruct its police officers not to automatically arrest
when a case under Section 498-A of the IPC is registered but to satisfy

77
 themselves about the necessity for arrest under the 17 Page 18 parameters laid down
above flowing from Section 41, Cr.P.C:

…We hasten to add that the directions aforesaid shall not only apply to the cases under
Section 498-A of the I.P.C. or Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, the case in hand,
but also such cases where offence is punishable with imprisonment for a term which may
be less than seven years or which may extend to seven years; whether with or without
fine.”

The maximum imprisonment for all the offences alleged against the Applicant is less than
seven years, which is squarely covered by the aforementioned judgment of the Apex
Court.

14.As held by the Apex Court in Siddharam Saltingappa Mhetre v. State of Maharashtra:
MANU/SC/1021/2010: AIR 2011 SC 312, frivolity in prosecution should always be considered
and in the event of there being some doubt as to the genuineness of the prosecution, in the normal
course of events, the accused is entitled to an order of bail.

15.It is a basic rule of criminal jurisprudence that anticipatory bail must not be refused as if a
punishment before trial is being imposed. The only material consideration in such a situation is
whether the accused would be readily available for his trial and whether he is likely to abuse the
discretion granted in his favour by tampering with the evidence. For mere interrogation arrest of the
accused is not at all necessary. [Sajjan Kumar v. State 1991 Cri LJ 645, 653 (Del)].

16.Any other ground (s) which may be raised at the time of arguments with permission of this
Hon’ble Court.

17.The Petitioner has not filed any similar application before any other Court.

78
PRAYER

In the light of the facts enumerated herein above it is respectfully prayed that this Hon’ble Court
may graciously be pleased to:

• In the event of arrest of the Applicant, kindly direct the release of the Applicant on
anticipatory bail in Case FIR No. 0325/2018 u/s 323/342/34 IPC; 75/79 JJ ACT; 8 POCSO,
registered at P.S. Maurya Enclave;
• Pass an ad-interim order/direction restraining the arrest of the Applicant in Case FIR No.
0325/2018 u/s 323/342/34 IPC; 75/79 JJ ACT; 8 POCSO, registered at P.S. Maurya Enclave;
• Any other order (s) which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit in the facts and circumstances
of the present case.

RANCHI

Criminal Revisional Jurisdiction

Criminal Application No. 398 of 2020

In the matter of the order of the Session Judge, Ranchi sentencing the opponent to 6 month's
rigorous imprisonment, and a fine of ₹ 200 in case No. 487 of 2019

State of Tamil Nadu

at the instance of the District Superintendent of Police, Ranchi.

. ...... Petitioner

Versus

Somnath Kumar
S/o Nirmal Kumar, aged 28 years, R/o Ranchi
...... Opponent

The humble petition of Your Lordship's petitioner above-named most respectfully states:

1. The above-named opponent was arrested in Ranchi on a charge under sections 307 and
326, I.P.C. for an attempt to murder and causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapon. He
was prosecuted and tried in the Court of the Session in case No. 487 of 2019 of that Court
and the learned Sessions Judge was pleased to convict the accused and sentence him to
6 month's rigorous imprisonment and to pay a fine of ₹200
2. While passing the final order of sentence after convicting the opponent, the learned Judge
remarked that he was pleased to take a lenient view of the offence taking into
consideration the youth of the opponent.
3. The learned Judge therefore passed a lenient sentence of 6 month's R.I. and a fine of ₹ 200
on the opponent though the maximum sentence under Sections 307 and 326, I.P.C.

84
 is imprisonment for life, or for 10 years. Though the prosecution prayed for deterrent
punishment on the ground that the injuries caused were of a very serious nature and that the
injuries were caused by a dangerous weapon during a communal riot. The learned Judge turned
down the prayer of the prosecution for a deterrent punishment and showed leniency to the
opponent by passing the order of sentence as stated above. Hereto annexed and marked
annexure ‘A' is the copy of the said order and judgment.

4. Being aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner prefers this application for enhancement
of sentence passed on the opponent by the learned Judge on the following amongst other
grounds:
• That the injuries caused by the opponent (accused) were several and of a very serious nature;
• That the injuries were caused by a dangerous weapon, i.e., a dagger which was possessed
and carried by the accused when the possession and carrying of weapons was banned by the
order of the District Magistrate, Ranchi
• That the opponent (accused) is a member of a gang of rioters habitually engaged in communal
orgy and riots and has made an attempt to murder by causing grievous hurt to the
complainant intentionally in the furtherance and prosecution of the common object of a
riotous mob.
• That the punishment for the offences is life or ten year's imprisonment and fine.

PRAYER
In these circumstances Your Lordships' humble petitioner prays that Your Lordships may
graciously be pleased:
• to enhance the sentence passed on the opponent by the learned sessions Judge in case No.
487 of 2019 of his Court; and
• to pass such other and further orders as Your Lordships may deem just, fit and proper in
the circumstances of the case.
• And for this act of kindness Your Lordships' Petitioner shall, as in duty bound, ever pray.

NOW THIS DEED OF WILL WITNESSETH AS FOLLOWS:

1. That I am the owner in possession of the schedule property and has been paying the

2. Now, I am aged 86 and feel it appropriate to execute the WILL. I am hale and healthy
and in sound state of mind and thus there is no impediment for me in executing this WILL
on my own sweet will and volition in respect of the property;
3. I had been practicing as an advocate, Bangalore since January 1966 and retired from
the profession voluntarily from practicing about two and a half years ago. I acquired the
schedule property during the period of my practice.
4. Myself and my wife Smt. H.N. Saraswathi are living together in the schedule property.
5. I have a son and two daughters. All of them have settled in their life and are living
separately with their families.

130
6. My son S. Kartik aged 53 is a software engineer and is well placed in life and living

10. My son is looking after me and my wife and is attending to our requirements.

11. As stated supra that since my son and daughters have their own houses and have
settled in their life comfortably, I think that it is appropriate for me to make necessary
arrangements for the succession to the schedule property after my death in order to avoid
any misunderstanding arising out of unforeseen circumstances between them.

12. I was virtually in a predicamentas to how this small property could be shared
between my son and daughters I would be happy if they could jointly put up an appropriate
construction so that they can enjoy the property and also could satisfy their sentiments if
any, however I did not pursue the matter with any one of them. Thus I and my wife
discussed the matter and came to the following conclusion that there is no alternative
except to sell the schedule property and the sale proceeds be distributed as stated
hereunder.

13. That my son should get half-a-share in the property or fifty percent of the proceeds
of the sale of the schedule property.

14. That out of the remaining fifty percent that my daughters are entitled to equal share
minus Rs.30,00,000/- (Rupees Thirty Lakhs only) i.e. the provisions made for my daughter

hing they require in our memory as stated hereunder;

share the proceeds of the sale as aforestated and accordingly I bequeath the schedule
property to the legatees.

15. That my wife has the right of residence in the schedule property and can live therein
as long as she desires.

16. However it is open to the legatees that they are at liberty to take any collective
decision in case they desire to utilise the schedule property in any other manner without

LEGAL NOTICE UNDER SECTION 35 OF THE CONSUMER

PROTECTION ACT, 2019

Subject: Defective iPhone sold by your store and failure to resolve the issue despite
repeated visits – Mental Harassment and Claim for Redressal

Dear Sir/Madam,

I, Bhopal Das, residing at Flat No. 8B, Sun Residency, 123 Prince Anwar Shah Road, Kolkata
– 700049, am constrained to issue this legal notice due to the immense mental agony,
harassment, and financial inconvenience I have suffered owing to your negligence and failure
to address a genuine consumer grievance.

On 10 January 2025, I purchased an Apple iPhone 14 (128 GB) from your store (South City
Mall, Kolkata) bearing Invoice No. CRKOL/2025/00123, for a sum of ₹79,999. The device
was under a 1-year standard manufacturer warranty.
159
 Unfortunately, within 15 days of purchase, the phone started experiencing recurring issues—
namely, unexpected shutdowns, screen freezing, and overheating. I first visited your store on
27 January 2025, where I was assured that a software reset would fix the issue.

However, the same problem reappeared, and I had to revisit the store multiple times:

8 February 2025 – Issue persisted; the phone was sent to an authorized service center.
20 February 2025 – Phone returned after service, but the problem reappeared within 2 days.
5 March 2025 – Requested replacement. Was told to “observe” the phone for another week.
17 March 2025 – Again reported the same malfunction. No resolution provided.
2 April 2025 – Phone again stopped working; system failure during regular use.

Despite my repeated visits and being well within the warranty period, no proper resolution—
replacement or refund—has been offered. The defective product and your lack of professional

Respected Sir/Madam,

I, Shalini Ghosh, a law-abiding citizen and resident of the address mentioned above, am
writing this letter to formally lodge a complaint regarding a case of credit card fraud and
phishing that I have recently been a victim of.

On 03 April 2025, I received an SMS on my registered mobile number (8078237645) from

what appeared to be a legitimate number purporting to be from my bank (HDFC Bank). The
message contained an urgent notification stating that my credit card was being temporarily
suspended due to suspicious activity and urged me to click on a link to verify my identity. The
link led to a webpage that resembled my bank's login portal.

Trusting the authenticity of the message, I entered my credit card details, including the card
number, CVV, and OTP as prompted. I soon realized I had been duped when, within the next

162
15 minutes, I received multiple debit alerts from my bank totalling ₹84,750, spent across online
platforms that I have never accessed or purchased from.

Below is the chronology of events that transpired:

03 April 2025, 11:42 AM: SMS received with phishing link claiming to be from HDFC
Bank.
03 April 2025, 11:50 AM: I entered my card credentials on the fraudulent site.
03 April 2025, 12:03 PM to 12:15 PM: Multiple unauthorized transactions were carried out
totaling ₹84,750.
03 April 2025, 12:18 PM: I immediately called the HDFC Bank customer care helpline and
got the card blocked.
04 April 2025: I visited the HDFC Bank branch at Gariahat, Kolkata and submitted a
written dispute.
05 April 2025: Filed a complaint with HDFC Bank grievance redressal portal.
08 April 2025: Bank informed me that as the transactions were OTP authorized, reversal
might not be possible without a formal police complaint.

This incident has caused me severe mental harassment and anxiety, especially due to the misuse
of my financial information. As a law-abiding citizen, I am deeply distressed by how easily
cybercriminals are targeting innocent individuals and siphoning off hard-earned money.

I request your office to treat this matter with utmost urgency and initiate an investigation into
the phishing link and the IP addresses and accounts to which the funds were routed. I am
attaching screenshots of the SMS, the transaction messages, and my complaint
acknowledgment from HDFC Bank.

Details of the fraudulent transactions:

1. Bank: HDFC Bank

2. Card Type: Credit Card (MasterCard)
3. Total Amount: ₹84,750
4. Mode: Online Transactions
5. Date: 03 April 2025
6. Transaction IDs: [Attached screenshots with masked card details]

 AI IN DRAFTING AND CONVEYANCING

THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN DRAFTING AND

CONVEYANCING

Introduction

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a revolutionary force in various sectors across the
globe, and the legal industry is no exception. The application of AI in legal drafting and
conveyancing in India is transforming how legal services are rendered. AI, with its capacity to
analyze vast amounts of data, recognize patterns, and make informed decisions, is redefining
traditional legal practices. Drafting and conveyancing, two essential components of legal
practice, particularly in property law, contracts, and corporate law, are undergoing significant
change due to AI interventions.

This essay delves into the application of AI in legal drafting and conveyancing in India,
examining the benefits, challenges, legal implications, and the future prospects of integrating
AI into these critical legal functions.

Understanding Drafting and Conveyancing

Drafting refers to the process of preparing legal documents such as contracts, agreements, wills,
and affidavits. Conveyancing, on the other hand, is the legal process of transferring property
from one owner to another, including the preparation of sale deeds, lease agreements, and
mortgage deeds.

Traditionally, these processes have been manual, time-consuming, and dependent on the
expertise of legal professionals. However, AI is now streamlining these activities, offering
increased efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness.

Application of AI in Legal Drafting

Document Automation: AI-powered software like Contract Express, Luminance, and

Legito allow lawyers to automate the drafting of standard legal documents. By using
templates and machine learning algorithms, these tools can generate customized documents
based on user inputs.
191
 Natural Language Processing (NLP): NLP, a subset of AI, helps in interpreting and
generating human-like legal text. It can identify clauses, suggest modifications, and even
highlight potential legal risks in contracts.
Legal Research Integration: AI tools can integrate real-time legal research into the drafting
process. For instance, while drafting a contract, AI can suggest relevant legal provisions, case
laws, or precedent clauses that strengthen the document.
Consistency and Accuracy: AI ensures consistency across documents by minimizing human
error. It cross-verifies terms and ensures that definitions and clauses are harmonized
throughout the document.
Predictive Analysis: Advanced AI models analyze past judgments and similar contracts to
predict possible outcomes and legal challenges, thus enhancing the quality of drafting.

Application of AI in Conveyancing

Title Verification: One of the most critical aspects of conveyancing is title verification. AI
tools can scan land records, identify encumbrances, and check the legality of titles within
minutes, a task that traditionally takes days.
Due Diligence: AI systems like ROSS and Kira can conduct due diligence by analyzing
property records, prior transactions, and existing legal disputes.
Risk Assessment: AI can assess risks involved in property transactions, flagging potential
legal disputes or regulatory non-compliance, which helps buyers and lawyers make informed
decisions.
Drafting of Conveyance Documents: AI platforms can automate the preparation of sale
deeds, lease agreements, and registration documents, reducing the turnaround time and
increasing reliability.
E-Conveyancing: With the push for digitization in India, AI is playing a role in e-
conveyancing by enabling digital documentation, e-signatures, and online registration of
property documents.

Benefits of AI in Drafting and Conveyancing

Time Efficiency: AI significantly reduces the time taken to draft and review documents,
allowing legal professionals to focus on strategic aspects of their practice.

192
 Cost Reduction: Automated systems reduce the reliance on manual labor, thus bringing
down the costs for both legal firms and clients.
Enhanced Accuracy: By minimizing human errors and offering data-driven insights, AI
enhances the accuracy and reliability of legal documents.
Improved Access to Justice: AI tools can make legal drafting and conveyancing services
accessible to a larger population, including those who cannot afford expensive legal counsel.
Standardization: AI ensures a uniform structure and language across documents, which is
particularly beneficial for organizations dealing with bulk legal documentation.

Legal and Ethical Implications

The integration of AI into legal practice necessitates a discussion on accountability and

ethical considerations. For instance, who is liable if an AI-generated contract contains a
critical error? Moreover, the use of AI must adhere to the principles of client confidentiality,
informed consent, and fairness. The Bar Council of India and other regulatory authorities need to
formulate guidelines to regulate the use of AI in legal practice, ensuring that it complements rather
than replaces human expertise.

Conclusion

AI is not here to replace lawyers but to augment their capabilities. In a country like India, where
the legal system is often burdened with delays and inefficiencies, AI presents an opportunity
to enhance the quality and accessibility of legal services. Drafting and conveyancing, being
foundational aspects of legal practice, stand to benefit immensely from AI integration.

However, for this transformation to be successful, there needs to be a concerted effort from
legal professionals, regulatory bodies, educational institutions, and technology providers.
Ethical usage, data security, and regulatory compliance must remain at the forefront of AI
integration. With the right approach, AI can revolutionize the drafting and conveyancing
landscape in India, making legal processes more efficient, accurate, and inclusive for all.

193
DRAFT PLEADINGS USING AI-ASSISTED LEGAL DRAFTING
TOOLS
Introduction
The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the legal domain has revolutionized various
aspects of legal practice, particularly in drafting pleadings. Traditionally, drafting pleadings
has been a meticulous and time-intensive process requiring precision, legal acumen, and deep
domain expertise. However, with the integration of AI-assisted legal drafting tools, lawyers
can now automate and streamline the drafting process, enhance accuracy, ensure consistency,
and improve overall efficiency. In India, where the legal system is often burdened with high
pendency of cases, AI holds the potential to ease the workload and optimize the quality of legal
documents. This essay explores how AI-assisted legal drafting tools are transforming the way
pleadings are drafted, the benefits and challenges associated with their adoption, and the future
trajectory of AI in Indian legal drafting.

Understanding Pleadings in Legal Practice

In the Indian legal system, pleadings refer to the formal written statements submitted by parties
in a litigation, which include the plaint (in civil suits), written statements (defense),
counterclaims, rejoinders, affidavits, and applications. These documents form the foundation
of any legal proceeding and must be drafted with clarity, legal soundness, and adherence to
procedural laws such as the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC). Drafting pleadings requires
careful analysis of facts, identification of legal issues, reference to precedents, and structuring
of arguments.

What are AI-Assisted Legal Drafting Tools?

AI-assisted legal drafting tools leverage technologies like Natural Language Processing (NLP),
Machine Learning (ML), and Data Analytics to assist lawyers in creating legal documents.
These tools can:
• Generate first drafts of legal documents.
• Suggest legal phrases and clause templates.
• Identify potential legal issues.
• Spot inconsistencies or ambiguities in the text.
• Provide relevant case law or statutory references.

194
 • Offer grammatical and stylistic suggestions tailored to legal writing.

Some popular AI-assisted legal drafting tools include ROSS Intelligence, Legal Robot,
Casetext, Lexis Create, Microsoft Copilot (with legal integrations), BriefCatch, and India's own
SCC Online AI tool and Manupatra’s AI engine.

The Role of AI in Drafting Pleadings

• Automated Drafting
AI tools can quickly generate a preliminary draft of a pleading based on user input. By
answering a series of guided questions (called “guided drafting”), the system collects relevant
information such as parties involved, nature of the dispute, jurisdiction, claims, and relief
sought. Based on this data, the AI system produces a basic draft that complies with standard
formats and legal terminology.
• Legal Language Suggestions
One of the hallmarks of good pleadings is the use of appropriate legal language. AI tools
provide phrase suggestions, replace vague words with precise legal terms, and structure
paragraphs to align with common legal practices. This is particularly useful for junior lawyers
and law students who are still developing their drafting skills.
• Case Law and Statutory Integration
AI drafting tools are often integrated with legal databases like Manupatra, SCC Online,
Westlaw, or LexisNexis. They can suggest relevant case laws, sections of statutes, and citations
based on the subject matter of the pleading. This integration reduces time spent on legal
research.
• Error Detection and Compliance Checks
AI systems can identify errors such as inconsistent names, dates, or sections. They can also
ensure that the format of the pleading complies with court rules, procedural codes, and local
customs. This reduces the chances of rejection by court registries.
• Personalization Based on Jurisdiction
AI drafting platforms can adapt the format and language of pleadings based on the jurisdiction
(e.g., High Court vs. District Court), ensuring adherence to region-specific requirements and
templates.

195
Benefits of AI in Legal Drafting
Efficiency and Time-Saving
AI tools can significantly reduce the time required to draft pleadings. What might take hours
manually can be done in minutes, especially for routine or template-based documents.
Cost-Effectiveness
By reducing the time spent on manual drafting and research, AI tools lower operational costs
for legal professionals. This can also make legal services more affordable for clients.
Standardization and Consistency
AI ensures that documents follow a consistent format and use standard legal terminology,
thereby enhancing the quality and professional appearance of pleadings.
Reduced Human Error
Typographical mistakes, missing sections, or incorrect references can often be avoided with
AI review systems that flag inconsistencies.
Support for Junior Lawyers
AI-assisted tools can act as a guide for new lawyers, providing them with structure, language,
and legal rationale to improve their drafting capabilities.

Challenges in AI-Assisted Pleading Drafting

Accuracy and Contextual Understanding
AI tools, while powerful, may lack nuanced understanding of the legal context. They can
misinterpret ambiguous language or fail to grasp the strategic intention behind certain
pleadings.
Overdependence on Technology
Overreliance on AI tools may lead to a decline in critical thinking and legal drafting skills
among young lawyers who use them without understanding the logic behind the content.
Data Privacy and Confidentiality
Uploading sensitive client data onto AI platforms—especially cloud-based services—raises
concerns about data security and client confidentiality.
Limited Customization in Complex Matters
In highly complex or novel legal matters, AI-generated drafts may be too generic or
inapplicable, requiring significant human intervention to tailor the content.
Language and Regional Barriers
Many Indian courts operate in regional languages or require documents in dual-language
formats. Most AI tools are currently optimized for English, which may pose limitations in
regional courts. 196
AI-Assisted Drafting in the Indian Legal Ecosystem
India has witnessed the gradual adoption of AI tools in legal processes, though it remains at a
nascent stage compared to Western countries. Law firms, legal startups, and courts have begun
experimenting with AI-based solutions for case management, legal research, and document
automation. In particular, legal tech platforms such as:
• CaseMine: Offers AI-based legal research and document referencing.
• NearLaw: Provides automated legal notice generation tools.
• MikeLegal: Focuses on AI-driven IP management and legal analytics.
• Manupatra Smart Tools: Offers document drafting assistance and auto-citation features.

The Bar Council of India, law schools, and judiciary are also initiating discussions and
workshops on AI adoption. Courts are exploring AI for translation, transcription, and cause-
list management—laying the groundwork for broader use in drafting processes.

Examples of AI-Assisted Drafting Tools in Action

Standard Civil Plaint Drafting
• Using an AI tool, a lawyer can input details like:
• Plaintiff's name and address
• Defendant's name and address
• Nature of the claim (e.g., breach of contract)
• Facts in brief
• Relief sought
Within seconds, the AI generates a formatted plaint with sections like cause of action,
jurisdiction, limitation, and prayer clause—ready for review.
Consumer Complaint Drafting
AI tools can automate the preparation of consumer complaints by asking guided questions
regarding:
• Purchase details
• Defect or deficiency
• Correspondence with the seller
• Nature of relief sought (replacement, refund, compensation)
The final output complies with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

197
Legal and Ethical Considerations
Using AI in pleadings raises several legal and ethical concerns:
• Accountability: Who is responsible for errors in AI-generated documents—the
lawyer or the software developer?
• Bias in Algorithms: AI systems trained on biased data may produce flawed drafts,
particularly in cases involving marginalized communities.
• Regulatory Framework: India currently lacks a comprehensive legal framework for
the use of AI in legal practice, though the Draft Digital India Act is expected to address
some of these issues.
Lawyers must ensure that they supervise the AI-generated content and uphold ethical
obligations under the Advocates Act, 1961 and Bar Council guidelines.

Future Outlook
The future of AI in legal drafting is promising. We can expect:
• Multilingual AI tools tailored for different Indian states.
• Voice-to-text drafting using AI-powered dictation.
• Real-time collaboration on AI-generated drafts between law firms and clients.
• Integration with court e-filing portals for seamless document submission.

Law schools and bar associations will play a critical role in training the next generation of
lawyers in AI tools and ethical use.

Conclusion
AI-assisted legal drafting tools are poised to reshape the legal landscape in India by making the
drafting of pleadings faster, more accurate, and more efficient. While these tools offer immense
benefits in terms of productivity and standardization, they also bring challenges relating to
contextual understanding, data security, and ethical responsibility. Indian lawyers, courts, and
policymakers must embrace this transformation thoughtfully—leveraging AI as a powerful
ally, not a replacement for human legal judgment. As the technology evolves, its judicious and
responsible use will help ensure access to justice, reduce case backlogs, and uplift the overall
quality of legal drafting in the country.

 ANALYSIS OF ETHICAL AND LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF AI IN
LEGAL PRACTICE

Introduction

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a futuristic concept—it has become a present-day
reality that is reshaping industries, including the traditionally conservative domain of legal
practice. From automating routine tasks like legal research and document drafting to assisting
in predictive analytics for case outcomes, AI has brought significant efficiencies. However, this
transformation also raises complex ethical and legal concerns. As AI tools become more
prevalent in Indian and global legal systems, it becomes imperative to examine the implications
of such technologies in the context of ethics, privacy, bias, accountability, and the rule of law.

Role of AI in Legal Practice

AI is being integrated across various aspects of legal work. Common applications include:

Document review: AI tools like natural language processing (NLP) algorithms scan
thousands of legal documents for relevant content.
Contract analysis and management: Startups like SpotDraft and MikeLegal use AI to
detect risk clauses and suggest edits.
Legal research: Platforms like SCC Online and Manupatra employ AI to offer advanced
case law suggestions.
Predictive analytics: AI predicts case outcomes based on historical data.
Judicial assistance: The Supreme Court of India’s SUPACE system helps judges sift
through voluminous files.

While these applications increase efficiency, they also raise serious questions about ethics and
legality.

205
Ethical Implications of AI in Legal Practice

• Algorithmic Bias

AI systems learn from data. If that data contains historical biases—be it in judicial decisions or
social structures—the AI will likely perpetuate or even amplify them. For example, if a
predictive algorithm is trained on bail outcomes where marginalized communities were
disproportionately denied bail, the AI might recommend similarly biased decisions.

Case in Point: The COMPAS algorithm used in the US for predicting recidivism was found to
be racially biased. Though not used in India, similar models, if adopted here, may raise
equivalent concerns.

• Transparency and Explainability

One of the core ethical challenges is the “black box” nature of AI. Lawyers and clients alike
may not understand how an AI system arrived at a recommendation.

Why it matters: Legal decisions impact lives. A lawyer must be able to explain their rationale.
If AI tools influence case strategies or outcomes, transparency becomes crucial for maintaining
professional integrity.

• Client Confidentiality

The legal profession is bound by strict codes of confidentiality. AI systems often require cloud
storage, real-time data processing, or access to sensitive documents.

Risk: If the AI tool or its backend infrastructure is compromised, clients’ sensitive data might
be exposed, breaching trust and professional codes.

• Erosion of Human Judgment

Ethically, there is concern that over-reliance on AI might erode the nuanced human judgment
required in law. Legal practice involves empathy, discretion, and interpretation—qualities not
easily replicable by AI.

Example: In family law or criminal defense, emotional intelligence and contextual awareness
often matter more than precedent.
206
 • Access and Inequality
While AI has the potential to make legal services cheaper and more accessible, those with
access to better tools (corporate firms or wealthier clients) may gain an unfair advantage,
exacerbating inequality in legal representation.

Legal Implications of AI in Legal Practice

• Liability and Accountability

Who is responsible if an AI-powered tool gives incorrect advice that results in legal loss?

Current Status: Indian laws do not yet define legal liability for AI tools.

Implication: Lawyers or firms using AI could still be held liable for malpractice, even if the
error was due to software.

• Intellectual Property Rights

AI-generated contracts, pleadings, or even legal advice raise questions about ownership. Who
owns AI-generated work? Can it be copyrighted?

Legal Debate: Under Indian copyright law, authorship is granted to a human creator. AI
outputs currently fall into a gray area.

• Privacy and Data Protection

AI requires massive data inputs—often involving private, sensitive information. With the
enforcement of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023, the legal fraternity
must ensure compliance.

1. Mandates: AI tools collecting client data must now seek explicit consent and ensure
secure processing.
2. Breach Consequences: Failure to comply can lead to heavy penalties and reputational
damage.

207
• Legal Personhood of AI
Globally, there is discussion about whether AI tools should be granted some form of legal
personality to address liability. This idea, however, is controversial and largely undeveloped in
Indian jurisprudence.

• Evidence and Admissibility

AI tools are increasingly being used to analyze digital evidence and assist in forensics.

Legal Challenge: Courts must determine the admissibility and reliability of AI-generated
evidence. Indian Evidence Act, 1872 has not yet been updated to accommodate such scenarios.
Judicial Stance on AI in India

India’s judiciary has cautiously embraced AI, largely for administrative efficiency rather than
adjudication.

• SUPACE (Supreme Court Portal for Assistance in Court Efficiency)

Deployed in 2021 to assist judges with document analysis, SUPACE explicitly avoids making
judicial decisions.

CJI Bobde stated: “SUPACE will not take decisions but only present facts and assist
judges.”

• ChatGPT Mentioned in Judicial Hearing (2023)

The Punjab and Haryana High Court made headlines when it referenced ChatGPT during a bail
hearing. Though used only as a research aid, the event underscored judicial curiosity about AI’s
potential.

• Delhi High Court on Deepfakes and Right to Privacy

In the Anil Kapoor v. AI-generated misuse case, the Delhi High Court upheld privacy and
personality rights in the context of AI-generated deepfakes, marking the judiciary’s growing
awareness of AI challenges.

208
 Regulatory Developments and Need for AI Law

As of now, India lacks a dedicated AI law. However, several regulatory frameworks

indirectly influence the AI-legal intersection:

IT Act, 2000: Covers cybersecurity but does not address AI-specific liabilities.
DPDP Act, 2023: Regulates personal data handling, indirectly affecting AI tools used in
law.
Bar Council of India Rules: Impose ethical obligations on lawyers which extend to tech
usage.

The Way Forward

India needs:

• Clear legislation on AI accountability.

• Ethical guidelines by the Bar Council on AI usage.
• Certification standards for legal tech products.

Global Practices and What India Can Learn

• EU's AI Act (2024)

The European Union has passed the AI Act, classifying legal AI tools as “high-risk”
applications requiring strict transparency and oversight.

• ABA’s Guidelines on AI and Law

The American Bar Association has issued ethical guidelines for using AI in legal practice,
emphasizing:

Responsibility
Competence
Confidentiality

209
India can adopt similar codes to balance innovation with professional ethics.

Conclusion

AI’s integration into the legal profession in India is both inevitable and transformative. While it
promises efficiency and cost savings, the ethical and legal ramifications cannot be ignored. As AI
systems become more involved in research, contract analysis, and even influencing case outcomes,
questions about fairness, bias, accountability, and client confidentiality must be addressed urgently.

To protect the integrity of legal practice, stakeholders—including lawmakers, bar councils, legal
tech companies, and the judiciary—must collaborate to develop ethical standards and legal
regulations. Only then can India truly embrace AI in law without compromising justice, equity, or
constitutional values.
