The notice dated 05.01.2026 was received by the petitioner on 09.01.2026 1. He replied on 19.01.2026, enclosing his bank statements 2Page 14…the petitioner submitted his reply dated 19.01.2026 along with copies of the bank statements for the period in question….

The amount of ₹4,50,000 was repaid in full on 02.12.2025 by RTGS 3, and the bank has confirmed the transfer 4.

Clause 7 of the agreement requires any notice to be sent by registered post 5. The notice was sent only by WhatsApp.

Copies of the RTGS receipt and the bank's letter of 05.12.2025 are enclosed as Annexures A and B 6.

The demand is therefore denied in full, without prejudice to the petitioner's rights.

“It drafts like someone who has read our files”

We used to lose the first two days of every matter to reading in. Justis pulls the chronology, flags the limitation issue, and hands back a draft that already sounds like our firm. Our associates start from an argument now, not a blank page.

“The citations hold up when the bench checks them”

That was the test for us. Every authority it gives is traceable to the reported judgment, and it tells us plainly when a point is unsettled. We have stopped re-verifying research from scratch, which is where the real hours went.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a list of dates in a petition?

A chronological list of the events in the case, with dates, that sits before the petition in Indian courts. It gives the judge the sequence at a glance. Justis builds it from the case file, each entry linked to its source.

How does Justis build the chronology?

It reads every document in the matter and extracts each event with its date, the document and the page. You get the list in order, and each entry opens its page when clicked.

Can it read scanned and handwritten documents?

Yes. Scanned pages, handwriting and stamps are read with OCR, including Hindi and other Indian languages. It tells you when it is reading a scan, so you know transcription errors are possible.

Does it calculate limitation and default bail?

Yes. It works out limitation periods and whether the chargesheet came within the default bail window, and shows the dates and arithmetic so you can check them.

What if the documents disagree on a date?

The chronology flags the conflict with both pages, so you can decide which date the record supports and use the contradiction if it helps.

Can it draft the synopsis too?

Yes. Ask for the synopsis and list of dates and it is drafted from the chronology in Word, with record references kept.
