Petition in Supreme Court says GenAI in judiciary may lead to fake case laws

The Supreme Court on Monday (November 10, 2025) agreed to list after a fortnight a petition highlighting that indiscriminate use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in judicial work can lead to “hallucinations”, resulting in fictitious judgments, research material, and worse still, even perpetuate bias.

Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai, before whose Bench the case came up, reacted that the judges were aware and vocal about the incursions made by AI in judicial functioning.

Kartikeya Rawal, an advocate represented by his counsel, Abhinav Shrivastava, urged the top court to formulate a strict policy or, at least, frame guidelines for regulated, transparent, secure and uniform use of GenAI in courts, tribunals and other quasi-judicial bodies until a law was put in place.
