"The record clearly establishes that the respondents (Chintamani's Jewellery Arcade) failed to adhere to the repayment schedule forming part of the consent terms.

SC nixes rulings by NCLT, NCLAT based on fake AI citations

SC nixes rulings by NCLT, NCLAT based on fake AI citations - Litigation - 2 min read SC nixes rulings by NCLT, NCLAT based on fake AI citations The Supreme Court has nullified orders from NCLT and NCLAT due to their reliance on fabricated AI-generated case laws. Justices cautioned against unchecked AI use, emphasizing human control in justice delivery. The court stressed a zero-tolerance approach for unverified AI precedents, declaring any decision based on such material invalid. A committee will now explore this issue, highlighting the risks of delegating critical thinking to AI. 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.

Transfer of narcotics convict from Sri Lanka to India: Madras High Court penalises MEA & MHA officials

Transfer of narcotics convict from Sri Lanka to India: Madras High Court penalises MEA & MHA officials The Madras High Court has directed two joint secretaries serving in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to jointly pay ₹50,000 to the High Court Legal Services Committee for not rendering effective assistance to the court in deciding a habeas corpus petition related to a narcotics case convict repatriated from Sri Lanka to India. A Division Bench of Justices Anita Sumanth and Sunder Mohan wrote: “Respondent 5 and Respondent 6 are put to terms and shall remit ₹50,000 to High Court Legal Services Committee within four weeks.” The judges also recorded their displeasure over a central government senior panel counsel not answering questions raised by the court despite grant of multiple adjournments. The habeas corpus petition had been filed by the son of Zahir Hussain who had been convicted by a Sri Lankan court on May 18, 2015. The court over there had sentenced him to life imprisonment for the offence of drug trafficking after he was found to be in possession of 720 grams of heroin. Thereafter, he was repatriated to India for serving the sentence in a local prison here. Mohamed Saifulla brought it to the notice of the court that the convict had sought repatriation to India in terms of the ‘Agresement between the Government of the Republic of India and the Government of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka on the transfer of sentenced persons,’ a bilateral treaty signed by both the nations in 2010. He said, the request for repatriation was accepted by an order passed by the MHA on July 29, 2016. The order stated that the maximum punishment in India for possession of 720 grams of heroin was only 10 years of rigorous imprisonment under Section 21 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances…
