Built for Indian law — not adapted from abroad

Foreign legal AI wasn't built for a Sessions Court in Hindi

Headnote is grounded in Indian statutes, Indian judgments and the formats Indian courts expect. That is the difference between a demo and a document you can file.

New criminal codes

Fully mapped to Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) — with the IPC/CrPC/Evidence bridge built in.

Hindi, natively

Draft and dictate in Hindi and English. Cause-titles, prayer and verification come out in the format your court expects, not a rough translation.

Every court in India

Supreme Court, all 25 High Courts, and district and taluka benches across every State and Union Territory — the court name and format follow the matter.

Why advocates trust it

A junior that never makes up a case

The fastest way to lose a court's confidence is a citation that does not exist. Headnote is built so that can't happen.

  • Every citation is verified against its source before it reaches your draft.
  • Unverified is flagged, never dressed up as settled law.
  • Your facts stay your facts — dates, names and amounts are never invented.
  • You stay in control — every draft is for advocate review before filing.
Questions

Legal AI in India — the common questions

What is the best AI legal tool for lawyers in India?
Headnote is an AI legal assistant built specifically for Indian advocates. Unlike general chatbots or foreign legal-AI tools, it drafts court-ready applications in Hindi and English, researches Indian case law with citations verified against their source, and is built on the new BNS, BNSS and BSA codes. It serves every court in India from the Supreme Court to the district bench.
Can AI draft legal documents in Hindi?
Yes. Headnote drafts court-ready litigation documents in Hindi and English — bail applications, discharge applications, maintenance petitions, complaints and civil suits — in the format the court expects. It also supports voice-first drafting, so you can dictate in Hindi.
Does Headnote invent or hallucinate case law?
No. Zero fabrication is a core principle. Every citation is checked against its source before it appears in a draft or research result; if a case cannot be verified it is flagged rather than presented as fact. Headnote never invents client facts, dates or judgments.
Is Headnote free to try?
Yes — a free 3-day demo, no card required. Paid plans are ₹599/month or ₹5,999/year for unlimited use, with no auto-renew and no hidden caps. A one-time ₹99 Section Finder add-on is also available.
How do I convert an IPC section to the new BNS section?
Use Headnote's free Section Finder. Enter any old or new section for IPC to BNS, CrPC to BNSS or Evidence Act to BSA and instantly see the mapping, punishment, whether it is cognizable and bailable, the trial court, and exactly what changed under the 2024 criminal law codes.
Is Headnote better than ChatGPT for legal work in India?
For Indian court work, yes. A general chatbot does not verify Indian citations, does not know the exact court format, and will confidently invent judgments. Headnote is grounded in Indian judgments and statutes, verifies every citation, drafts in the correct court format in Hindi and English, and refuses to fabricate.
Which courts and areas of law does it cover?
Every State and Union Territory and all 25 High Courts, from the Supreme Court to the district and taluka bench — across criminal and civil practice: bail, anticipatory bail, discharge, revision, appeal, maintenance, domestic violence, recovery of money, defamation, cheque bounce and more.
Who is Headnote for?
Practising advocates in India — especially solo practitioners and small chambers in the district and High Court bar who work primarily in Hindi and other Indian languages, and who need reliable, affordable drafting and research.
