Overview

  • The Madhya Pradesh High Court said it has digitised nearly 6.5 lakh case files—over 23.67 crore pages—and rolled out an internship portal, an online system for police case diaries, and the Samadhan Apke Dwar dashboard.
  • Justice Aravind Kumar warned that judges must understand technologies shaping disputes, citing smart contracts, crypto assets, blockchain property claims and metaverse arbitrations.
  • Justice Jitendra Kumar Maheshwari said courts should expand the frontiers of fairness rather than rewrite law, stressing that control over data now drives competition and requires transparency.
  • Solicitor General Tushar Mehta flagged a case where an arbitration award was challenged for possibly being written using ChatGPT, calling for ethical and legal guardrails on AI in adjudication.
  • Justice Rajesh Bindal cautioned that AI-generated evidence and citations to non-existent judgments are emerging threats, as other speakers weighed intermediary safe-harbour limits and EU-style obligations like Know Your Business Customer and Trusted Flaggers.
