How we read statutes — honestly

Statute text lives at the source. Lekha does not reproduce or store the body of these Acts — each card opens its India Code search so you always read the official, current copy, amendments and all. Our landmark case explainers and plain-English notes sit on top, clearly separated from the legislation itself.

Any AI-generated or unverified commentary we add elsewhere is labelled beta / pending expert review — never presented as a statement of how a court would decide your matter.
