The India — Supreme Court of India has taken cognisance of a trial court's reliance on AI-generated fake verdicts, deeming such actions as misconduct rather than a mere error. This issue, which directly impacts the integrity of the adjudicatory process, has prompted the India — Supreme Court of India to initiate a detailed examination. Notices have been issued to R. Venkataramani (Attorney General), Tushar Mehta (Solicitor General), and the India — Bar Council of India, with Shyam Divan appointed to assist. The case originated from a plea challenging an India — Andhra Pradesh High Court order, where a trial court had dismissed objections to an advocate-commissioner's report by relying on non-existent, AI-generated judgments. The India — Supreme Court of India has directed the trial court to halt proceedings based on the disputed report and will hear the matter on March 10. This follows earlier concerns raised by Chief Justice Surya Kant regarding lawyers filing petitions with AI-generated non-existent judgments.
