Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into India's judicial processes marks a significant milestone in the modernization of the legal system. Under the e-Courts Project Phase III, spearheaded by the Supreme Court of India and the Ministry of Law and Justice, AI technologies are being incorporated to enhance efficiency, transparency, and accessibility in the judiciary. By leveraging Machine Learning (ML), Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Natural Language Processing (NLP), the initiative aims to streamline case management, improve judicial workflows, and provide a seamless user experience for litigants, advocates, and judicial officers alike.
The Indian government has demonstrated a strong commitment to digital transformation in the judiciary by allocating Rs. 7,210 crore to implement e-Courts Phase III. Rs. 53.57 crore is earmarked explicitly for Future Technological Advancement, including AI and blockchain, across High Courts in India up to 2027. This financial backing underscores the government's recognition of AI’s potential to enhance judicial efficiency and accessibility.
Using AI in India's judiciary is a transformative step towards a smarter, faster, and more accessible legal system. The e-Courts Project Phase III sets the stage for a more digitally empowered judiciary by leveraging AI for intelligent case management, legal research, and administrative efficiency. As AI continues to evolve, its strategic implementation will be crucial in reinforcing public trust, reducing case backlogs, and ensuring justice delivery remains efficient and equitable in the digital era.
