(a) The body of case law consists of judgments rendered by the Supreme Court and the High Courts. This case law keeps evolving from time to time by way of new judgments coming in on the same point of law upholding, overruling, citing, referring, discussing and / or interpreting earlier judgments.
A comprehensive software mechanism in the form of
Legal Database has to be in place which has the repositories of all the
Supreme Court and High Court judgments and also keeps track of new
judgments affecting the earlier judgments. This software also needs to
have a mechanism for porting metadata of the judgment onto it which also
includes Head Notes of the judgments. This software will have to be of
Federated Architecture as the case law applicability and management will
have to be High Court based.
