NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday underscored the need to regulate the use of artificial intelligence in judicial proceedings, noting that unverified AI-generated material could undermine the administration of justice.Directing the Bar Council of India (BCI) to set up a committee to examine the use of AI in legal practice and adjudication, the court said there was a clear need for regulatory safeguards. It also urged both the Bar and the Bench to exercise caution while using such technology.The court observed that while AI can assist in adjudication, it should not replace human reasoning or decision-making. It emphasised that human oversight must remain central at every stage of the judicial process.Raising concerns about the use of fabricated or non-existent AI-generated legal precedents, the court warned that such material could adversely affect the integrity of the justice system. Describing the use of fake, non-existent and AI-generated hallucinated legal precedents as “invisible, insidious and catastrophic” to justice, the court likened it to “the release of methyl isocyanate (a highly toxic, flammable, and volatile organic compound) in the field of law and justice”.The observations came while the apex court set aside the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) orders in the Essel Infraprojects insolvency case after finding that the NCLT had relied on non-existent, fake and AI-generated hallucinated judicial precedents while deciding the matter. The court held that such reliance strikes at the integrity of the adjudicatory process and warranted fresh consideration of the dispute.Why the Supreme Court set aside the Essel Infraprojects ordersA bench of justices PS Narasimha and Alok Aradhe was hearing an appeal filed by suspended director Pooja Ramesh Singh against the NCLT’s decision admitting Essel Infraprojects into the corporate insolvency resolution process on a petition filed by Jammu and Kashmir Bank under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.The insolvency proceedings arose from an alleged default linked to a Rs 200 crore credit facility extended by Jammu and Kashmir Bank to Pan India Utilities Distribution Company Limited. The loan was backed by a corporate guarantee from Essel Infraprojects and a mortgage over land in Gorai, Borivali, Mumbai.The NCLT’s Mumbai Bench admitted the insolvency plea in August 2024 over a claimed default of Rs 87.43 crore, and the NCLAT later upheld the order.However, the Supreme Court found that the NCLT had relied on fabricated and non-existent AI-generated judgments as legal precedents while reaching its conclusion.Holding that such reliance cannot be tolerated, the Bench said, “It is necessary for Courts to adopt a zero-tolerance mode for producing, citing or using AI-generated precedents without verification. It is a misconduct on the part of an advocate to cite such judgments without verification.”The court further said it was an equally serious lapse if judges relied on fake or hallucinated AI-generated material while deciding cases.”We have no hesitation in declaring that such a decision is no decision in the eyes of the law, irrespective of whether such material had a direct or indirect bearing on the decision-making. Such decisions are to be set aside even if an iota of fake or hallucinated material enters the decision-making process, as it would violate the sanctity of adjudication,” the Bench observed.Accordingly, the Supreme Court set aside both the NCLT and NCLAT orders and directed the tribunal to decide the matter afresh on the facts of the case.Clarifying the scope of its ruling, the court said it was not examining the technical reasons behind AI hallucinations or ways to eliminate them. Those issues, it said, were for engineers and scientists. The judiciary’s concern was the use of fake, non-existent AI-generated material as legal precedents.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Watch NEET PAPER LEAK: LESSONS FROM INDIA’S BIGGEST EXAM SCANDAL “Normally, the results are announced within 45 days of the examination, but this time, as we have conducted the exam in 37 days, we will announce the results much earlier,” he added.When asked about how this process is carried out, the official said,”We need to scan all the challenges one by one, examine the supporting evidence, and respond to each one of them.”The NTA had released the provisional answer key on June 25, and candidates were given time till June 28 to challenge it. As per the official, around 10,000 challenges were received from aspirants.Re-NEET was conducted on June 21 after the May 3 examination was cancelled after paper leak.A fee of Rs 200 is charged per question and is refunded if the student’s challenge is found to be correct.The official also assured that, despite NEET being conducted again, the academic year will not be delayed, even though there is no clarity yet on the counselling process, which usually takes over one month.After the NEET-UG result is declared, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) releases the counselling schedule for the 15 per cent All India Quota (AIQ), AIIMS, JIPMER, central and deemed universities, while individual states announce separate schedules for their 85 per cent state quota seats.In a normal NEET year, the first-year MBBS academic session usually starts in August or September, depending on how quickly counselling concludes. The official said that this year, too, the session will begin on time.Candidates register online, pay the required counselling fee, and fill in and lock their preferred choices of colleges and courses, following which seats are allotted based on NEET rank, category, reservation norms, preferences, and seat availability.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Check outlook on July 2, 2026 Mahua Moitra names 16 BJP workers over mob attack and 4-hour ‘siege’, alleges police stood by NEW DELHI: Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Wednesday named 16 people she alleged were behind a mob attack on her in West Bengal’s Nadia district, a day after claiming she was confined inside a party office for nearly four hours while police remained “silent spectators.”In a post on X, Moitra tagged the director general of police and West Bengal Police and alleged that the attackers were BJP workers.”Hello @DGPWestBengal @WBPolice, the mob attack on me today was led by these @BJP4India goons (caught on camera, verified): Santosh Ghosh, Hilal Mallick, Mampi Mondal, Monideepa Pramanick, Sumi Mishra, Rathin Pramanick, Ananta Ghosh, Pratik Dhar, Tarun Rajak, Kamalakanto Ghosh, Santu Mondal, Rakesh Ghosh, Rameshwar Biswas, Raja Sardar, Brindaban Ghosh, Hari Das.”The alleged attack took place at a Trinamool Congress office in Kaliganj, where Moitra had gone to attend a party workers’ meeting. According to the MP, protesters hurled eggs, mud and stones at the building, with one egg striking her. She alleged that the crowd grew larger over four hours while police failed to intervene.”This was unchecked BJP mob violence for over 4 hrs aided by police inside our MLA office. BJP’s lynch mob which grew by the minute. Each one of them BJP workers. The numbers grew as police watched silently for 4 hours,” Moitra posted on X.Videos shared by the Krishnanagar MP on social media showed protesters outside the office raising slogans and throwing objects toward the building. She was escorted out by police later in the evening.Rejecting allegations of police inaction, Krishnanagar Superintendent of Police Atul V said officers reached the spot after receiving information and repeatedly requested Moitra to leave the premises. According to him, discussions continued between the MP and the police before she exited the office around 6 pm.The BJP denied the allegations, with West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya suggesting the incident stemmed from infighting within the Trinamool Congress.”This egg-throwing must stop, and the TMC leader who is sitting hidden at home needs to step out into the field. TMC is attacking TMC… How can the police identify those who have eggs in their pockets? There is no machine to catch this. Metal detectors don’t detect eggs, so let us bring in a new machine… It is ruining Bengal’s image,” Bhattacharya said.The incident triggered sharp reactions from Trinamool leaders, who accused the police of failing to protect an elected representative.TMC MP Saugata Roy said, “I totally condemn this attack on our fellow parliamentarian and AITC leader Mahua Moitra in Plassey, in her constituency in Nadia. She has informed the DG of police of West Bengal to remove the mob who surrounded her party office. But the police took no action… It’s a matter of shame that BJP workers have done this to a lady parliamentarian in her own constituency.”Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi also criticised the incident, writing on X, “The kind of encouragement the mobs are getting by the BJP government in West Bengal is shameful. Pelting eggs at a sitting woman Member of Parliament while cops are mute spectators is disgraceful! The law & order is state responsibility and CM Suvendu Adhikari ji must walk the talk. In solidarity with Mahua Moitra.”The Trinamool Congress also accused the BJP of orchestrating the attack and alleged that the police and security personnel failed to disperse the crowd. The BJP has rejected the allegations.Get the latest India news and live updates.
