LexKompass

Law school teaches law. It does not teach the building. A junior's first filing at the High Court is not a legal problem. It is a procedural one. Which counter. Which floor. How many copies. Which stamp and for how much. What an objection slip actually means. The answers exist, but they sit with clerks and seniors, and you learn them by getting them wrong first.

LexKompass covers that gap. It maps the procedure, the place and the practice together, arranged as* F → C → D → N. Filing, Compliance, Disposal, No Repeat.*

It is not an AI lawyer. It gives no legal advice and no strategy. It tells you where to go, what to carry and what happens next. That notice sits on every screen.

Two things in it matter to me.

Rule and practice are kept separate. Every step is marked either as enforceable, meaning statute, High Court Rules or a practice direction, or as what actually happens at the counter. The ₹50 Advocate Welfare Fund stamp on the vakalatnama is a rule. Avoiding the day after a long weekend is practice. Merging the two is how a procedural app starts giving legal advice without meaning to.

Verified and draft are stated openly. Every location, route and step carries a status and a date. Where something has not been confirmed on site, it says so instead of guessing. A gap costs a junior nothing. A confident wrong answer costs him half a day at the wrong counter. The court map is switched off at the moment for that reason. The survey is not complete, so it says coming soon rather than showing a plan that looks right and is not.

Built on the High Court of Karnataka, Principal Bench, Attara Kacheri, Bengaluru. The structure is court agnostic. All content is JSON. Adding another High Court is a folder of data, not a rewrite.

Offline first. Signal inside the corridors is poor and phones are restricted, so every page is prerendered, nothing loads at runtime, and nothing typed into the app leaves the device.

Fresh Filing (F). The counter workflow end to end. Advance service, physical file order, the pagination rule where page 1 is the List of Dates and not the index, stamp arithmetic, and the FR number recorded before you leave.

Physical or e-Filing. Filing splits into counter filing and the High Court's Quick e-Filing route, taken from the Registrar General's SOP. It carries the point juniors miss. Limitation runs from the e-filing date, but the FR number only comes after the physical file is accepted. Two different dates.

*Compliance Resolver (C). *Type what the objection slip says. Get back what it means in plain words, what you need, where to go, and when it is cured.

*Disposal and Movement (D). *Where the file actually is between the counter and the cause list.

*Certified Copies (CC). *Apply, pay and collect.

Checklists: One step live at a time, with what to carry, what it costs, where to go, and a test for when it is done. Progress saved on the device.

Rule or practice marked on every step.

A verification stamp on every record. It either says verified on site with the date, or it says to be confirmed.

Sitting roster. Judge to court hall from the current notification, always shown with the notification number and the effective date, so it cannot be read as current when it is not.

Glossary of registry terms in plain words.

Offline first. Nothing fetched at runtime. Nothing uploaded.

Collaborators from other states and cities. The app covers one bench so far. The data layer is already court agnostic, so any High Court can be added as a folder of JSON. What it needs is advocates on the ground who know their own building and registry well enough to verify it. That is the only way this becomes complete instead of local.

Field verification in Bengaluru as well. Several routes are still inferred rather than walked, which is why the map is off. Real objection slip wording is the other gap. Three of six objections carry my paraphrase and are marked draft for that reason.

Separately, I am building a large scale real estate and banking repository model. That one needs funding. Open to investors, and to anyone working in that space.
