[Un]blocking of indiankanoon.org by judis

To: amishra@nic.in, dash@nic.in

Dear Dr. Shefali and Mrs. Alka,

I am the founder of the website indiankanoon.org that provides free
access to Indian court judgments and state-of-art search facility on
indian legal documents. Many people rely on indiankanoon.org for
retrieving court judgments relevant to their case. More than 10 lakh
people use indiankanoon in just one month.

I just found out that the IP address of indiankanoon.org (208.79.211.6)
is currently blocked by judis.nic.in As a result indiankanoon is not
able to get the new judgments.

IndianKanoon downloads judgments from judis daily at 00:00 am so that
there is no impact to the users of judis. If judis.nic.in is getting
overloaded because of IndianKanoon then I will be happy to follow any
directions given by you. I will reduce the crawling speed myself if you
unblock it immediately.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Thanks,
Sushant.
