    Not found in any judgment in Misaal. Check the original before citing it.

What it catches

Citations that don't exist

A case or citation that isn't in the judgments Misaal holds is flagged.

Mismatched name and citation

A real case name paired with another judgment's citation is caught.

Misquotes

Quotations are compared word for word, including a dropped "not" or a changed number.

Wrong paragraphs

A pin like "para 73" is checked against the paragraphs the judgment actually has.

Old and new law

IPC and BNS pairings are checked, and a code that doesn't fit the date of the offence is flagged.

Later treatment

If a later Supreme Court sentence mentions the case with "overruled" or similar, you see it to read yourself.

Questions

What happens to my draft?

An uploaded file is read only to take out the text, and it isn't kept.

Which file types work?

Word (.docx) and PDF files with text in them, up to 10 MB. A scanned PDF has no text to read. Old .doc files need saving as .docx first.

Does "not found" mean the case is fake?

No. It means it isn't in the judgments Misaal holds, so check the original before you cite it.

Can it check SCC and AIR citations?

They are private reporters, so those numbers can't be checked. Misaal marks them as could not be checked, and matches the case name where it can.

Does it tell me if a case is still good law?

No. It shows later sentences for you to read, but whether a case is still good law is for counsel to decide.
