Traditional research is scattered across judgments, Bare Acts, legal documents and citations each in a different place, each demanding a different search. LeXi AI reads all four and returns one position you can defend.
Does pocket-picking constitute robbery under S. 309(4) BNS or only theft under S. 303 BNS?
State vs Tarun Chote (9 Apr 2025) — FIR 744/2024, PS Raj Park; accused allegedly removed complainant's mobile from pocket with a co-accused.
S. 309(2) BNS — theft becomes robbery only when accompanied by causing or attempting to cause death, hurt, or wrongful restraint.
S. 3(5) BNS — common intention; each co-accused liable for act done in furtherance of common intention.
Prosecution bears the burden of proving violence or fear accompanied the taking. Without that proof, the charge cannot sustain as robbery under S. 309(4) BNS.
LeXi AI doesn't stop at finding legal authorities. It transforms scattered legal information into clear legal understanding, helping lawyers move from collecting information to building stronger legal arguments.
Section 94 BNSS authorises only a summons to produce documents — it confers no power to debit freeze a bank account. Kirti Deora v. State of West Bengal (WPA 1785/2025, 13 Feb 2026) held the freeze ultra vires and directed its immediate lifting.
Attachment of proceeds of crime under S. 107 BNSS requires notice, a 14-day hearing, and court approval — all mandatory. Puja Hari v. State of West Bengal (CRR 4810/2025, 23 Jun 2026) set aside an ex parte attachment made without notice to the owner as void.

Everything you need to know about our platform and services
AI legal research is the use of artificial intelligence to search, read, and analyse legal documents judgments, statutes, and legal commentaries and return a specific, sourced answer to a legal question. Traditional legal research works by keyword search: an advocate searches a database, receives a list of documents, and then reads them to find the relevant holding or section. AI legal research changes the second step. Instead of the advocate reading fifteen judgments, the AI reads them, identifies which ones are relevant and why, and synthesises the answer with citations to the specific paragraphs and sections that support it. LeXi AI's research engine is trained on Indian law. It understands the hierarchy of Indian courts, the structure of Indian statutes, and the distinction between ratio decidendi and obiter dicta which is what makes it useful for advocacy, not just retrieval.
