Online Kachaheri

Abstract: In India, many people living in villages and small towns face serious difficulties when they need legal help. Legal services are often expensive, slow, and hard to access, especially for those who do not live in cities. Many people are unaware of their rights or do not know how to find the right lawyer. The "Online Kachaheri" project is a digital platform created to solve these problems using simple technology. It allows users to speak with verified lawyers through live video or chat, ask questions using an AI chatbot, and read helpful legal content in their own language. The platform works on both smartphones and computers and includes features like secure document sharing, case tracking, and AI tools for processing legal papers. Services are offered at low cost, and users can choose to pay per consultation or subscribe monthly. The goal of Online Kachaheri is to bring legal advice and justice to people who cannot easily reach courts or lawyers. This paper explains how the platform works, the problems it solves, and how it can grow to help more people in the future.
