CJI Surya Kant Advises New AoRs: Draft Petitions Personally, Avoid AI Outsourcing

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant urged newly inducted Advocates-on-Record (AoRs) to personally draft their petitions rather than outsourcing them to Artificial Intelligence or external parties.

Speaking at an induction ceremony, the CJI emphasized that every pleading filed reflects the professional judgment and ethical responsibility of the advocate.

He cautioned that the role of an AoR is not a mechanical exercise but a primary point of accountability between litigants and the Court.

The CJI stressed that factual verification and sound legal framing are essential, warning against filing matters blindly based on third-party instructions. He noted that professional credibility, begins on day one.
