What if legal help in India could begin not with fear, but with awareness?

Earlier this month, while I was in my office, Susheel Bellara sent me a message on LinkedIn. Four hours later, he was sitting across from me. As we spoke about Haq Se and the quiet revolution he’s building, we decided, spontaneously, to hit record.

No preparation, no lights or makeup, no agenda. Just two people talking about a platform that could genuinely help both litigants and lawyers.

That is how this episode was born: raw, simple, and honest.

In this special episode of The Daily Lawyer Podcast, I sit down with Barrister Sushil Bellara, founder of Haq Se : a free, non-profit platform designed to make legal understanding accessible to everyone.

Through Haq Se, families and individuals can:

• Estimate realistic maintenance amounts using a calculator based off Supreme court judgments on maintenance
• Access mediation support under India’s new Mediation Act (Section 5)
• Connect with trusted NGOs, pro bono lawyers, and counsellors
• Safely record, and send to a trusted source in real-time, incidents of domestic violence (or other traumatic events) through a “Secret Diary” feature

Senior members of the judiciary, including former Supreme Court and High Court judges, have already recognised the potential of Haq Se to bridge awareness gaps across India.

Listen in to see how technology, empathy, and law can come together to create meaningful change.
