Built to SC Rules 2013 For Advocates-on-Record

Your SLP, filed without defects. The first time.

Registry objections are where Supreme Court matters quietly die — returned paper books, lost limitation days, re-filing under your name. Pragma checks every filing against the Registry's rules before you submit, so the defect never happens.

A drafting assistant for AOR chambers — not legal advice. You stay the signatory, always.

The invisible 10%

Matters don't die on the merits. They die at the Registry.

Tools draft the visible 90% — research, grounds, citations. The 10% that actually returns your paper book is unglamorous, rules-bound, and entirely preventable. That's the part Pragma owns.

Without Pragma

  • Paper book returned for a margin, font, or pagination defect
  • A limitation day lost to a missed delay-condonation application
  • Annexures mis-marked or illegible — objection raised, days gone
  • The AOR's name on a defective filing; the junior re-doing it twice
  • No record of which objections recur, or why

With Pragma

  • Every SC Rules 2013 & Practice-Direction check runs before you file
  • Limitation & delay-condonation computed and flagged automatically
  • A Filing-Readiness Score that says, plainly: this will clear the Registry
  • One-click navigable, often auto-fixable defects
  • Every matter builds your draft → objection → outcome record

The golden path

From impugned judgment to ready-to-file

One pipeline for the whole SC filing — every line grounded to the record, every defect caught before the Registry sees it.

Intake the record

Upload the impugned judgment and lower-court record. Pragma OCRs, classifies, and builds a searchable record index.

Extract, grounded

Auto-generated List of Dates, Synopsis, draft Grounds and Questions of Law — every fact linked to a record page.

Run the Defect Engine

The full SC Rules 2013 + Registry ruleset runs against the paper book, returning a defect report and Readiness Score.

Sign & file

Court-fee and limitation checked, paper book assembled in SC format, AOR signs off — the only gate. Then track objections.

What's inside

Everything the filing needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Depth over breadth — Supreme Court filing, to the millimetre.

THE CORE

The Defect Engine

A deterministic check against SC Rules 2013, Registry practice directions, and learned objection patterns — it predicts every Registry objection before you file: format, margins, pagination, annexure marking, court-fee, vakalatnama, limitation. Outputs a defect report and a Filing-Readiness Score. Pragma’s own drafted text is compliant by construction — every defect it surfaces originates outside it: the bundle, the facts, the assembled whole, or a human edit.

List of Dates & Synopsis

Auto-assembled from the lower-court record, tuned to SC filing conventions — not a generic summary. Every fact hyperlinked to its record page; every citation grounded.

Paper-Book Assembler

Compiles the SC-format paper book — synopsis, List of Dates, SLP, annexures, vakalatnama, applications — with correct pagination and indexing, ready to export.

Court-Fee & Limitation

Court-fee auto-calculated; the limitation clock and any delay-condonation requirement computed and surfaced — before the 90-day window quietly closes.

Collaboration & Sign-off

Built around the AOR + briefing-counsel split: juniors draft, counsel refines grounds, and the AOR alone marks "Ready to File." Clear roles, full audit trail.

The Outcome Loop

Every matter records draft → Registry objection → cure → admitted or dismissed at leave stage. Your chamber's private dataset of what actually clears.

Why Pragma

Not another tool that drafts your SLP.

Plenty of tools help you write. Pragma is the one that guarantees what you wrote actually gets filed.

Generic legal AI

"AI that drafts your petition"

  • Optimises the visible draft — research, prose, citations
  • Horizontal: every court, every document, none to the millimetre
  • Stops at the document; the filing is your problem
  • Can free-generate citations — a liability you carry
vs

Pragma

"The system that gets it filed"

  • Owns the invisible 10% — Registry compliance and the filing itself
  • Vertical: Supreme Court SLPs, built to SC Rules 2013 exactly
  • Carries you to "Ready to File" with a provable Readiness Score
  • Grounded or it doesn't ship — nothing ungrounded reaches a paper book
Built for the stakes

Trust is the product, not a setting.

One hallucinated citation ends a reputation. Pragma is architected so that can't happen.

Grounded or it doesn’t ship

No model output reaches a paper book without a verifiable source — a record page, a statute, or a cited judgment, retrieved, never invented. An independent verifier checks every claim; anything ungrounded is flagged and blocks sign-off, never silently inserted.

The lawyer is the signatory

Pragma drafts, checks, and assembles; the AOR reviews and signs. Every AI artifact passes a human sign-off gate. A drafting assistant for lawyers — never legal advice to the public.

Compliance is the brand

Built to SC Rules 2013, Registry practice directions, and the Supreme Court's draft AI-in-courts regulations. Data stays your chamber's; the audit trail is complete.

Made for the chamber
