How it works
From the bundle to the hearing, in one place
No setup and nothing to learn. You open a matter, upload what you have, and Litora does the reading. Here is what happens at each step — and what you get from it.
- 1
Open the matter
Give it a title, the type of matter and which side you act for. Choose the court the way it is organised — State, district, court complex and court for the district judiciary, or State, High Court, bench and judge. Write down the question the court has to decide; everything that follows is aimed at it.
Opening matters is free and unlimited, and 500 MB of file storage is included.

Upload the bundle as it is
FIR, charge sheet, statements, memos, medical and forensic reports, orders, pleadings, agreements — scanned, photographed or typed, in English, Hindi, Punjabi or Urdu. Reading starts straight away and you can watch it page by page. If the wallet runs out mid-way, reading pauses and carries on when you top up.
- 3
Read the assessment
Once the file is read, run the assessment: your strengths and exposures, provisions engaged, procedural points, authorities checked and linked, and an estimate with its confidence. Answer the questions it could not settle from the papers and run it again — or try a “what if” to see how a new document would change it.

Test the file
Run the contradiction map for your cross-examination. For a High Court or Supreme Court matter, open the Bench tab: the judge is read from the CORAM of your latest order; ask your question in English, choose the last one to five years, and read how that judge has decided it — each judgment linked. Ask the file anything and get the page.
Then open Prepare: the List of Dates and Synopsis, the timeline with its delays, the procedural lapse scan, their judgment distinguished, their reply answered para by para, a question plan for each witness, the missing papers and the English translation — with a readiness meter that shows what is left.
For a criminal matter, the ingredients matrix sets each ingredient of the offence against the evidence, and the medical evidence analyzer sets the MLC and post-mortem against the eye-witnesses. For a civil suit, the issues map shows who must prove each issue and what is missing. The grounds builder drafts the grounds of appeal, revision, quashing, bail or discharge, each with its page.

Through the trial
After each day of evidence, upload the deposition: it is set against the witness’s earlier statements, the contradictions go to the contradiction map, and you get the admissions and the next points for cross. The exhibit register keeps every Ex. P, Ex. D and Mark with its objections, and lists what was relied on but never exhibited.
- 6
Rehearse
Speak your argument against the clock while the bench interrupts, and get a score with the points you missed and a better opening. Or watch the matter argued from both sides, with a bench that gives reasons.

Work as a team
Add your advocates, juniors and clerks — seats are free. Give a task with a due date, or give any step of the readiness checklist to a junior; it closes by itself when the work is done. The hearing radar on the dashboard shows every hearing of the next three days with how ready it is, and each member gets one short email a day.

Take it with you
Every result downloads as a designed PDF or goes to your email with a summary; the dates, the rejoinder, the grounds, the issues map, the exhibit register and the translation come as Word files to paste into your filing. Build the paper book in one click, draft the notice or application on your letterhead, and note the next date in the diary.
Under the hood
Why the results can be trusted — and checked
Litora is built so that a mistake shows itself, rather than hiding behind confident prose.
The page is always shown
Findings, contradictions and answers carry the document and page they came from. Contradiction quotations are matched word for word against the file before they are shown.
Only real judgments
Judgments are found first; only those may be cited, each one a link to the full text. Any other case name is removed before you see it, and unverified authorities are marked so.
Numbers worked out in code
Confidence comes from what is on the file — how much was readable, whether the key papers are present — and the bench percentage is a count of judgments, not a guess.
Aware of the forum
A trial turns on evidence; an appeal on error in the order below. The court and the stage you choose change how the file is read.
Honest about gaps
Illegible text is marked, missing documents are named, and when the file cannot settle a point the result says so and tells you what would.
Old and new codes
Where the file uses BNS, BNSS or BSA, the corresponding IPC, CrPC or Evidence Act provision is searched too — because most judgments still cite them.
