“I used to lose my evenings to research and first drafts. Now Vallume hands me the cited authorities and a working draft before I have finished my tea, and the diary tells me where I need to be tomorrow. For the first time in years, my practice feels like it has a team behind it.”

Adv. Priya SharmaIndependent practice, Delhi High Court
The challenge

A solo practice runs on one person's hours. Every hour on admin is an hour not spent on a client.

Research, first drafts, cause lists and client calls all compete for the same day. Large firms hand them to teams; a solo advocate does them alone.

Vallume gives you that team in software: cited research, first drafts, a diary that follows your cases, and a profile that brings clients to you.

See it work

Every answer shows its authority

Each point links to the statute or judgment it rests on, so you can read the paragraph yourself before you rely on it.

Judgments from the public Supreme Court and High Court records on AWS Open Data (CC-BY-4.0).

My client's cheque bounced in Pune; the drawer banks in Delhi. Where do we file under Section 138?

In Pune. Since the 2015 amendment, Section 142(2) gives jurisdiction to the court where the payee's bank branch is, the branch where the cheque was delivered for collection. That overrides Dashrath Rupsingh Rathod, which tied jurisdiction to the drawer's bank.

The Supreme Court applied the amended rule to pending complaints in Bridgestone India v. Inderpal Singh. Check limitation first: the complaint must be filed within one month of the cause of action (Section 142(1)(b)).
