Kerala High Court Raises Concern Over AI-Generated Pleadings in Bank Account De-Freezing Matters

The Kerala High Court has flagged the growing filing of AI-generated writ petitions in matters relating to financial cyber fraud and de-freezing of bank accounts.

The Court observed that such petitions often lack basic material facts and that advocates are unable to answer judicial queries based on the pleadings.

The Court noted that many petitions merely claim absence of involvement in cyber fraud without disclosing details of the alleged genuine transactions or the petitioner’s business.

Noting the misuse of judicial jurisdiction, the Court directed that the Station House Officer of the petitioner’s local police station be impleaded in all writ petitions seeking de-freezing of bank accounts before numbering, to assist the Court in forming a prima facie view.
