About Pundora

By Abhijeet, founder, Pundora · Published 3 October 2026

Pundora is a case-file assistant for advocates and small litigation chambers in India. This page says who makes it, where its judgments and law come from, how a citation is checked, and what it does not claim.

What Pundora is

An advocate uploads a case file. Pundora builds the chronology with every line linked to the page it came from, puts every deadline on a calendar for the advocate to confirm, and sends tomorrow's hearings to WhatsApp the previous evening. It answers research questions from the judgments it holds, with every citation checked against the judgment's own text before it is shown. It writes first drafts in the advocate's own format and exports them in the Delhi High Court's prescribed format. It checks the citations in any draft, including one written elsewhere. It runs on a laptop in the browser; on the phone it is WhatsApp.

It is free in early access and access is by invitation from a waitlist. Everything an advocate puts in can be exported, always, for nothing.

Where it runs

Servers in India (Mumbai region). Scanned pages are read on a machine Pundora runs itself in Mumbai, never by a cloud reading service.

The judgments

Pundora holds more than 18 million judgments of every Indian High Court and of the Supreme Court, from 1950 to today, with their full text. They were loaded from the courts' own public archives, kept word for word, and are topped up every night as the courts publish more. The Supreme Court's judgments carry their parties, dates and Supreme Court Reports citations; a judgment can be found by its citation, by its parties, by its case number, by a phrase in quotation marks, or by a question in plain words.

No citation in Pundora is written by AI. The judgment is found first, and the citation is read off its record. Where a research answer quotes a judgment, code finds every quoted word in the passage it points at, or the point is dropped. Where no authority is found, Pundora says so and stops; it never fills the gap.

The law

Bare acts, section by section and word for word from India Code, including the Negotiable Instruments Act, the Codes of Civil and Criminal Procedure, the new criminal codes of 2023 and the Constitution of India; the Schedule to the Limitation Act; the official tables that map the old criminal codes to the new ones; and the rules of civil procedure by Order and Rule. A section quoted in a draft is checked against these, not against memory. State legislation and regulators' instruments come from the open-india-law dataset under its open licence, with its attribution kept on every record.

Licensed sources

A small number of judgments, and the links between judgments (which cites which), are obtained through the Indian Kanoon API under a commercial licence and kept in Pundora's corpus with Indian Kanoon's written permission. When Pundora looks something up there it sends only a citation, or search terms built from named legal parts. It never sends an advocate's documents, an advocate's own words, or a party's name an advocate typed.

How a citation is checked

When a draft cites a judgment, Pundora looks for that citation in its own corpus first, then by the case's parties, then in the reference sources it licenses. If the judgment is found and the draft quotes it, the quoted words are looked for in the judgment's text; a quotation that is not there is shown beside the words that are. If the draft says what a section of an act provides, the section's own words are cut from the act and shown beside the draft's sentence. The report says what was searched and what was found. The full worked example is on how Pundora checks a citation.

What Pundora does not claim

• It does not say an AI cannot be wrong. AI reading is used to build a chronology, answer a question, write a draft and review one; each result is shown with its source so the advocate can check it, and the advocate confirms every date before it reaches the calendar.
• It never says a judgment does not exist. When a citation cannot be found, the report says "not confirmed" and lists what was searched. A real authority can be listed under a citation Pundora does not hold.
• It does not catch a judgment cited for the opposite of what it holds. It checks that a citation exists and that quoted words are in the text; whether the court was stating an argument in order to reject it is for the advocate to read.
• It is not certified. No ISO or SOC audit has been done yet. The security page says what is in place and what is not.
• Its AI provider's zero-retention terms are applied for, not yet in force. Until they are, text sent to the provider is deleted within 30 days under the provider's standard terms; the privacy policy says so and will change on the day it changes.
• WhatsApp messages are not end-to-end encrypted on the business platform. Every business on WhatsApp works through Meta's hosting; Pundora says so rather than implying otherwise, and deletes every file it receives from Meta's servers the same minute it is fetched.
• It is early. The product is in early access with a small number of chambers; some features named in the terms are still arriving.

Your files are not the corpus

An advocate's matters, documents and drafts live in the chamber's own encrypted, isolated workspace on India-region servers. They never join the shared corpus, no AI is trained on them, and only the form of a chamber's own drafts, never the facts of one matter, is reused in another.

Every fact on this page carries its source. If one is wrong, write to contact@pundora.in and it will be corrected and dated.
