### search_judgments

Full-text search across Indian court judgments and orders. Matches keywords against case text. Results are paginated in batches of 10, ordered by most recent judgment date. Internally solves an image captcha per request; due to OCR reliability, requests may occasionally need retrying. Each result includes case title, judge, court, CNR number, dates, and a path to the judgment PDF.

**Estimated cost:** Metered
