'Indlii' stands for the India Legal Information Institute, [New Delhi, India].

The First Free Legal Web Portal of India was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh on the eve of Law Day in New Delhi on 25 November, 2006 at a glittering function held at Vigyan Bhavan. The portal is virtual extension of India Legal Information Institute and is available at [www.indlii.org]

The portal provides information about central and state laws, judgements of various courts in the country besides news of the legal world. The Indian Judges and leaders of the Bar are actively associated with indlii. The idea behind the free portal is the mission of the Institute to provide free legal information to all. In the words of General Secretary of the Institute Mr. Talwant Singh "everyone has a right to know law of the land free of cost and with this we started this initiative". The institute has a vast resource of highly qualified law experts who are dedicated to the cause of free flow of legal information.

The portal would play a great role in achieving this goal since anyone can get information from anywhere anytime. The portal is a complex platform of information about different aspects of law and judiciary in India with lot of references and cross references.

The fact the Prime Minister of India launched the project on the eve of Law Day shows the importance of the concept and the place the institute in the legal world of the country.

Indlii is an India based not for profit institute with a vision to make online and full public access to all publicly available legal information of India. The institute is committed to collect legal information about India for all available sources and create awareness about the availability of free legal resources.
