Summary of regulations related to AI usage in Judiciary

Here is a summary of articles presented in this platform explaining the document released for public comments by the Supreme Court containing the proposed AI usage guidelines in Judiciary.

At first glance people may think this is only related to the Judicial Sector and  not relevant to the others. Naavi differs in this view for several reasons.

Firstly the document is issued under the support of the highest court of the land and therefore reflect the thoughts of the  Judiciary on how AI can be allowed to be  used. What is recommended here for the Judicial sector may be to a slightly smaller extent  applicable to the private sector also. This document is therefore a “Due Diligence” for the  rest of the industry.

Secondly private sector  will have a stake in selling software to the Judicial sector both  for administrative requirements as well as use by a Judge in arriving at his decision. The guidelines clearly define what kind of AI usage is permitted and what is not.

Since very little time is available for public comments  (to be submitted before 20th June 2026) we have tried to provide the series of articles explaining our reading of the material so that all the readers can proceed to form their own views and if required send their comments to the member secretary at office.regcc@sci.nic.in . The articles have also been explained in terms of audio reviews and video reviews created by an AI assistant. It makes the concepts explained in detail.

For easy access of all the articles, links are provided in this table below. Hope this will be appreciated. There are a few places where concerns have been expressed.
