Frequently asked questions
What statutes does Section Suggestor cover?
Section Suggestor covers IPC/BNS, CrPC/BNSS, Indian Evidence Act/BSA, and other key Indian statutes. It provides both old (IPC/CrPC/IEA) and new (BNS/BNSS/BSA) section equivalents so you can cite correctly based on the date of offence.
How detailed does my case description need to be?
Even a brief 2-3 sentence description of the key facts is usually enough. The more specific you are about the offence, parties, and circumstances, the more precise the section suggestions.
Does Section Suggestor explain why each section applies?
Yes. Each suggested section comes with a one-line explanation of why it applies to your facts — not just a list of bare section numbers.
Can I use the suggested sections directly in my draft?
Yes. Copy the suggested sections into your petition, application, or notice — or download the output as DOCX to build your draft around the correct statutory framework.
Does Section Suggestor work for civil matters too?
Yes. In addition to criminal law sections, it suggests applicable civil procedure, contract, property, family law, and consumer protection provisions depending on the facts you describe.
