Kanoon Lugat, the First Urdu Law Dictionary Released

Kanoon Lugat, an Urdu law dictionary, a first of its kind in the country was released on 15 September 2013 in Mumbai.

The dictionary, encompassing 52000 legal terms, has been translated in Urdu for the first time. Supreme Court advocate Muhammad Irshad Hanif authored the translation of this dictionary. The Urdu legal dictionary has a foreword written by former Chief Justice of India Altamas Kabir. 

Advocate Hanif has also translated Indian Penal Code and Indian Evidence Act in Urdu, besides publishing two books Taziraat-e-Hind andQanoon Shahadat-e-Hind. 

With these books, the litigants would be more empowered with correct knowledge of the laws and would be in a better position to understand their lawyers, rights and liabilities, as well as the legal proceedings in the courts.
