AUTHORITY DESK

Install the Indian Legal Research Launcher

Select a legal phrase, case name or citation on any webpage, then click the bookmarklet to open a compact Indian-law research launcher. No login is required, and it runs only when you click it.

Install

Show your bookmarks bar with Ctrl + Shift + B on Windows or Cmd + Shift + B on Mac.
Drag the gold Authority Desk Launcher button below onto the bookmarks bar.
Select legal text on any ordinary webpage and click the saved bookmarklet.

Authority Desk Launcher

The self-contained version avoids remote script loading and works best on desktop Chrome or Edge.

Core searches cover the web, official Indian sources, Indian Kanoon, Authority Desk's Supreme Court metadata index, latest news and Scholar. CCI and specialist government sources remain one click away under More sources.

Optional compact loader

This shorter version downloads the current launcher from competitionlaw.in when clicked. Strict websites may block that remote script.

Compact Authority Desk Launcher

javascript:(()=>{let s=document.createElement("script");s.src="https://competitionlaw.in/bookmarklets/authority-desk-launcher.js?ts="+Date.now();s.onerror=()=>alert("This website blocked the compact launcher. Use the self-contained Authority Desk bookmarklet instead.");document.documentElement.appendChild(s)})()

Compatibility: Some websites, browser-internal pages, extension pages and PDF viewers prohibit all javascript: bookmarklets. No bookmarklet can override that browser or site policy.

Safety: Only install bookmarklets from sources you trust. The self-contained launcher runs on the current page when you click it; no selected text is sent to an Authority Desk ingest endpoint.
