# 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.
