Hardeep Singh Puri NEW DELHI: Seeking to allay public fears over ethanol-blended fuel, petroleum minister Hardeep Singh Puri Thursday said a “make-believe” narrative had been unleashed on social media over the past few days.Addressing a press conference, the minister said the reduction in mileage of an E20-fuelled vehicle is “minor”. “It is well established that when you have ethanol in a vehicle, which they use in racing cars also, the acceleration increases, knocking improves. Mileage may drop a little, but it can happen because of many other reasons also,” he said. Puri added that insurance companies had also issued clarifications regarding vehicle coverage.Puri said his ministry had compiled a 15-page note tracing the journey of ethanol blending, listing the countries where it is practised. The note will also answer people’s concerns.The note stated that “misleading videos, selectively edited clips and sensational social media posts” were being circulated with the objective of “creating fear amongst vehicle owners” regarding the use of E20 fuel.Puri said India adopted 20% ethanol blending in petrol after consulting all stakeholders, including SIAM and ARAI, and would move to 25% blending only after completing all necessary tests. The minister said the concept of ethanol blending was not new and prominent car maker Henry Ford called it the “fuel of the future”.Get the latest India news and live updates.

NEW DELHI: In the first case of its kind, Supreme Court on Thursday quashed orders passed by NCLT and NCLAT on the ground that they decided a case on the basis of AI-generated non-existent case laws and verdicts, cautioning that unchecked use of AI could distort the justice delivery system.A bench of Justices P S Narasimha and Alok Aradhe cautioned both the Bar and the Bench on the use of AI, saying the human element should remain in the driving seat and have “absolute and total control over the application and usage of AI”.”For us… the production of fake, non-existent, and hallucinated material and its utilisation as precedents in law, is like the release of methyl isocyanate in the province of law and justice: invisible, insidious, and catastrophic by the time anyone notices,” Justice Narasimha said.The bench said AI was not just an aid but “an alternative to our own thinking, reasoning and even decision making”, making regulation essential. In the insolvency case, NCLT relied on AI-generated material and cited six non-existent SC judgments. The fake judgments also escaped scrutiny by NCLAT. Lawyers told the apex court they had not supplied the fake judgments and that the tribunal had obtained the material through its own research.”It is necessary for courts to adopt a zero-tolerance mode for producing, citing or using AI-generated precedents without verification,” the bench said, adding that any decision relying even partly on fake or hallucinated AI material “is no decision in the eyes of the law” and must be set aside.The court directed the Bar Council of India to constitute a committee to deliberate on the problem of lawyers submitting fake or hallucinated AI-generated material as legal precedents. It warned that delegating thinking to AI could have serious consequences for the human capacity to distinguish truth from falsehood and justice from injustice.Get the latest India news and live updates.
