AI Typing of Company Applications for Corporate Disputes in India

What a Company Application in a Corporate Dispute Contains

A company application filed before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under the Companies Act, 2013 is a formal pleading that sets out the relief sought in a corporate dispute. The document typically opens with a cause title naming the parties, the tribunal bench, and the case number. It then recites the material facts, followed by grounds on which the application is based. The prayer clause lists the specific orders requested, and supporting affidavits verify the facts on oath. Additional annexures, board resolutions, and extracts from statutory registers commonly accompany the main petition. Understanding these sections matters because each must be reproduced faithfully when a scanned filing is converted into editable form.

Why Corporate Dispute Documents Need Typing

Lawyers, company secretaries, and in-house legal teams often work with scanned copies of company applications, affidavits in reply, and written submissions. Scanned PDFs and image files are difficult to edit, search, or redact, which slows internal review and collaboration. Converting them into an editable DOCX lets legal professionals annotate arguments, prepare rejoinders, and extract key clauses for board presentations without retyping the entire document. From the documents we have processed, applications filed in hard copy at NCLT benches and then scanned for electronic records are the most common source. Typing converts these static scans into reusable digital text while preserving the structure of the original pleading.

AI Typing vs. Manual Retyping: Accuracy and Turnaround

Manual retyping of a multi-page company application takes hours and introduces the risk of omission, especially in dense legal text with section references and prayer clauses. Lekhak’s AI typing service extracts text from the uploaded scan in minutes, regardless of page count. The pipeline reads the image or PDF, recognises the printed and typewritten characters, and recreates the content in an editable DOCX. Stamps, seals, and signature blocks are captured as they appear, maintaining the visual context. Because the AI works on the original layout, the sequence of paragraphs, tables, and exhibit markers stays intact. A final manual review is still recommended, but the initial typing is completed far faster than manual retyping.

What Lekhak’s AI Typing Produces: Editable DOCX

The output is a clean DOCX file that mirrors the original scanned document. Tables listing shareholding, dates of board meetings, or particulars of the disputed agreement are reproduced as editable tables. The cause title, prayer, and verification clause stay in their correct order. Signature blocks and court stamps are rendered as images within the document, they are not verified originals but visual placeholders. You can modify the text, add highlighting, or insert comments directly in the DOCX. This is a convenience tool for drafting and internal review. It is not a certified true copy and does not carry any endorsement from Lekhak about the accuracy of the original content.

When You Need Court-Certified Copies Instead of Typed Versions

An AI‑typed document from a scan serves well for preparing arguments, sharing drafts, or maintaining digital records. However, when you must file the application before the NCLT or submit it to any authority that requires a certified true copy, only a copy obtained from the NCLT registry will suffice. The registry’s stamped and sealed copy carries legal evidentiary value that a typed replica cannot replace. Lekhak’s typing service does not produce certified copies or certified translations. Always verify the tribunal’s procedural requirements before relying on a typed version for official submission.

Regional Variations: Corporate Disputes Across India

The NCLT has benches in Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, and other cities, each hearing company law matters from its territorial jurisdiction. While the substance of the petition follows the national template, the formatting of cause titles, annexure markings, and even the placement of the verification clause can differ slightly between benches. Documents originating from the NCLT Mumbai bench, for instance, sometimes include additional undertakings particular to local court practice. Lekhak’s AI typing handles these variations by faithfully reproducing the layout of the uploaded scan, regardless of which bench issued it. The result is a DOCX that mirrors the regional formatting without manual adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Typing Legal Documents

Can Lekhak type handwritten legal documents?

Lekhak’s AI typing works best with clear, printed or typewritten scans. Heavy cursive or faded handwriting may not be recognised perfectly and could require light manual correction after the initial conversion.

Will the typed DOCX retain the court’s stamp and signatures?

Yes. The AI captures stamps, seals, and signature blocks as image elements within the DOCX. They are reproduced visually but are not verified as authentic original marks.

Is my scanned company application confidential?

Yes. Files are encrypted during upload, processed by the AI without any human reading the content, and automatically deleted from our servers after the DOCX is generated.

What if the original scan has multiple annexures and exhibits?

The AI attempts to preserve the original order of annexures and exhibit markers. If the scan is clear, the sequence will be maintained; you can rearrange sections within the DOCX if needed.

Does Lekhak provide legal advice on the typed content?

No. The typing service only converts an image or PDF into editable text. It does not interpret, verify, or advise on the legal sufficiency of the content.

How fast is the typing process?

Most scanned documents, regardless of page count, are converted into a DOCX within a few minutes after upload. The AI pipeline works continuously and does not require manual intervention.

What file formats can I upload for typing?

You can upload PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP, and TIFF files. Both single-page and multi-page documents are supported.

Can I download and edit the typed DOCX?

Yes. The output is a standard Microsoft Word DOCX. You can download it, edit the text, add comments, or embed it in other documents using any word processor.

Is there a page limit on the typing service?

No hard page limit applies, you can upload documents of any length. Pricing is per page, so larger files will use more credits.

How is the cost of typing calculated?

Typing is priced per page of the uploaded file. For the current per-page rate, visit lekhak.app/pricing. The calculator shows the credit usage before you confirm.

If your company application needs certified translation, notarisation, or apostille for use outside India, Lekhak can facilitate these steps as a managed service. While the self‑serve AI typing tool converts scans into editable text, securing an official certified copy or apostille involves offline coordination that we handle on request.
