"Sariyaiy," a new website that centralizes court rulings and features advanced functions such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) search capabilities, has been officially launched.

High Court Judge Abdul Maaniu Hussain's Sariyaiy is the first platform designed to provide access to decisions from all courts in one place. In addition to court rulings, the website hosts legal textbooks, research papers, and various other legal documents.

One of the most notable features of Sariyaiy is its AI-powered search function. This tool allows users to input specific scenarios or incidents, after which the system identifies, retrieves, and analyzes relevant rulings and supporting documentation.

While the website is free to register and use, it offers enhanced features for authorized users, including the ability to generate legal briefings and conduct in-depth analysis of legal documents.

At launch, the platform features rulings from the Supreme Court and the High Court. Efforts are currently underway to incorporate lower court decisions as well as historical archives from the Supreme Court and High Court in the near future.
