Saath – Legal Companion

Facing a court case, a legal notice, or a police matter — and no idea what happens next? Saath explains Indian law in plain English and walks with you through every stage of your case. Saath means "with you". TRACK YOUR COURT CASE, STAGE BY STAGE Add your case once and see the whole road ahead — filing, police investigation, framing of charges, hearings, judgment, and appeal. Know what usually comes next instead of guessing. SEE YOUR CASE FROM EVERY SIDE Understand each stage through four perspectives: your advocate, the opposing counsel, the judge, and the investigating officer. Walk in knowing what the other side will argue. DECODE ANY LEGAL DOCUMENT Photograph or upload a legal notice, court summons, FIR copy, order or agreement — image or PDF — and get a plain-English explanation: what it says, what it means for you, what to do next, and by when. PREPARE FOR YOUR HEARING Checklists of what to carry, what to say and what not to say in court, plus practice questions before you face them for real. ASK LEGAL QUESTIONS IN PLAIN LANGUAGE Ask about court procedure, bail, cheque bounce cases, maintenance, property disputes, consumer complaints, labour matters, FIR registration, deadlines and legal terms — answered in everyday words. Includes a glossary of legal vocabulary. DRAFT LEGAL DOCUMENTS Generate a legal notice, application, complaint or reply with clear placeholders for your details, then refine the wording until it fits. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN AN EMERGENCY Immediate guidance if you are being arrested, if the police refuse to register your FIR, or if you are facing domestic violence — with real, dialable national helpline numbers. FIND REAL LEGAL HELP Free legal aid is a right for many citizens under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. Saath shows you how to reach the National and District Legal Services Authorities, and how to verify that a private advocate is genuinely enrolled before you pay anything. Advocate profiles in the app are clearly labelled illustrative examples, not real listings. Useful for citizens dealing with criminal cases, civil suits, family court, divorce and maintenance, consumer complaints, labour disputes, cheque bounce under Section 138, property matters, and RTI applications. *** DISCLAIMER — SAATH IS NOT A GOVERNMENT APP *** Saath is an independent, privately developed educational app by Apogee Learning. It does not represent any government entity. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, authorised by, or connected to the Government of India, any State Government, any court, the police, or any government department or agency. We do not file cases, register FIRs, or process any government application on your behalf, and we cannot take any action with a court or a police station.

Always confirm anything important with a qualified advocate. *** OFFICIAL SOURCES OF GOVERNMENT INFORMATION *** All legal and procedural information in Saath is drawn from, and should be verified against, these official Government of India sources, which are the authoritative record: India Code — official repository of all central and state legislation: https://www.indiacode.nic.in/ National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) — free legal aid and Lok Adalats: https://nalsa.gov.in/ eCourts Services — official case status and cause lists: https://ecourts.gov.in/ Department of Justice, Ministry of Law and Justice: https://doj.gov.in/ Ministry of Women and Child Development — One Stop Centres: https://wcd.gov.in/ Official helplines: Emergency 112 | Legal aid 15100 | Women 181 | Childline 1098 Where Saath refers to a law such as the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita or the Negotiable Instruments Act, the official text at India Code always prevails over our plain-language explanation.
