+# Indian Supreme Court Judgements Dataset (Sentence-Level, Translated to Tamil)
+
+## Overview
+This dataset contains Indian Supreme Court judgements that have been split into sentences and translated into Tamil. The original judgements were sourced from the [Indian Kanoon](https://www.indiankanoon.org/) website. The dataset is useful for legal text processing, multilingual NLP tasks, and cross-lingual legal studies.
+
+## Data Processing Pipeline
+1. **Sentence Splitting**:
+   - Used `pySBD` (Python Sentence Boundary Disambiguation) to split the judgements into sentences.
+   
+2. **Translation**:  
+   - Translated the extracted sentences from English to Tamil using the `IndicTrans2` model.
+   
+## Use Cases
+- Legal NLP research (sentence-level analysis of judgements)
+- Legal document summarization in Tamil
+
+## Licensing & Attribution
+- The original judgements were obtained from [Indian Kanoon](https://www.indiankanoon.org/), which aggregates publicly available court decisions.
