The Supreme Court is using AI and ML to modernise case management. Tools provide real-time transcription (for Constitution Bench hearings), translate judgments into 18 Indian languages, and detect filing defects with IIT Madras. Prototypes for data extraction and integration with the ICMIS are being tested. SUPACE, an AI research tool for legal search, is experimental. The Court says AI will not be used for judicial decision-making. The update was given in the Rajya Sabha by Arjun Ram Meghwal.
The Supreme Court has raised “serious doubts” over the Election Commission’s decision to conduct a ‘special intensive revision’ of Bihar’s electoral rolls just months before the 2025 Assembly elections. A bench questioned the timing, legal basis, and impact on voters, warning that eligible citizens could be disenfranchised without time to appeal. The Court also asked why Aadhaar is excluded as valid ID, suggesting it should be allowed. It sought clarity on the legal authority for such a revision, as only ‘summary’ and ‘intensive’ revisions are recognized. The case will shape future electoral roll practices in India.
