Mint Explainer: what do the Supreme Court’s draft AI rules mean for India’s justice system?


What do experts say about the proposed rules?

Mihir Rale, partner and co-head, digital+, TMT at Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, said the proposal’s significance is clear given India’s massive legal backlog. With 55.8 million pending cases, a severe shortage of judges, and deep recruitment challenges, clearing the backlog under the current system could take over 300 years, he said. “The only real option is to enhance productivity, and the adoption of AI is certainly a game-changer in this context,” he added.
