The 13th Century text Lekhapaddhati gives us information on Legal documents.

Lekhapaddhati is a medieval Sanskrit and Prakrit text originating from Gujarat. It is a collection of model documents, including various types of legal deeds, administrative orders, land grants, agreements, and private letters. It served as a practical guide for drafting documents and provides valuable insights into the administrative, legal, and socio-economic conditions of the period.

The text is a unique source for understanding the formulation and structure of official and private documents in medieval Western India. Its content covers practical aspects of daily life, governance, and transactions, offering more than just information on the ‘art of writing’ or ‘epigraphic style’. It’s fundamentally a manual for legal and administrative drafting.
