This dataset contains Indian appellate judgments paired with machine-generated FIRAC annotations: facts, issues, rules/authorities, analysis, and conclusion. It is the minimal public release for the FIRAC Appeals paper and will be expanded incrementally with additional audit and evaluation artifacts.

in_abs: 7026 train rows and 100 test rows from IN-Abs.
supreme_court: 36453 train rows and 1441 test rows from the vanga Indian Supreme Court judgments corpus, split at 2024-07-01.
combined: 45020 rows exposed by reusing the two source configs; no duplicate combined Parquet files are stored in this minimal release.

metadata: cleaned case metadata assembled from source fields and posthoc metadata extraction, with local paths and operational extraction fields removed.
firac: normalized FIRAC annotation object.
simplified_outcome_label: allowed, dismissed, or other; this is a simplified ML label, not a substitute for the court's full disposition.

reference_summary is populated for IN-Abs rows and empty for Supreme Court rows in this release.
