At Deccan Law House, we are proud to be a leading stockist of ALT Publications, making these essential resources easily accessible to the entire legal community.
The Legacy and Authority of Andhra Law Times
The Andhra Law Times has earned its standing as one of South India's most respected legal journals in India through decades of consistent, accurate, and timely reporting of High Court and Supreme Court judgments. ALT law journals serve as the primary case law reference for practitioners across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, covering judgments across civil, criminal, constitutional, revenue, and service law matters.
For practising advocates, having access to ALT law journals means having immediate reference to the exact language of High Court decisions — critical for drafting pleadings, preparing arguments, and advising clients accurately. For judicial officers and district court judges, these publications provide a reliable digest of appellate decisions that guide day-to-day judicial reasoning. And for law students and researchers, ALT publications offer an indispensable window into how law is actually applied in real cases across the region.
What ALT Publications Offer the Legal Community
ALT Publications cover a wide spectrum of legal reporting and reference material, making them a comprehensive resource for the legal profession:
Law Reports and Case Law Journals — The core of the ALT catalogue is its reporting of High Court of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana judgments, along with selected Supreme Court decisions. These legal case law journals are organised chronologically and indexed by subject, making it easy to locate relevant precedents quickly during research or court preparation.
Legal Reference Publications — Beyond case reporting, ALT publications include subject-specific reference volumes, practice guides, and digests that compile judicial decisions across key areas of law. These legal reference publications are invaluable for advocates who need to survey the case law on a particular point of law without trawling through individual journal volumes.
Annual and Periodic Digests — ALT publishes periodic digests that consolidate judgments from multiple volumes into topic-wise summaries. These are particularly useful for practitioners who need to quickly identify leading cases in areas like service law, land acquisition, revenue matters, and consumer protection without reading every reported judgment individually.
For advocates and legal professionals who also need subject-specific annotated commentaries alongside case law, explore our Legal Commentaries collection — featuring expert analysis, statutory annotations, and case law integration across all major areas of law.

Are ALT law journals useful for law students and judiciary aspirants?

Judiciary aspirants benefit from familiarity with High Court judgments, as understanding the application of law through real cases strengthens both answer writing and legal analysis in judicial service examinations.
What is the difference between ALT law journals and legal commentaries?
ALT law journals report actual court judgments — they are primary legal sources. Legal commentaries, on the other hand, are secondary sources written by legal scholars that analyse, interpret, and annotate statutes and case law.
