In these difficult times, it is imperative that we, as citizens, know what we can demand from the institutions created to protect us in our times of need.

In this website you will find various orders passed by the Supreme Court, High Courts and Ministries organised in a state-wise manner. This has been done to provide ease of access and a streamlined flow of information.

We also want to provide a space where people in need may reach out to us in case they have questions about a legal issue.

Stay safe!
