Supreme Court to Deploy AI to Automate Case Listing and Bench Allocation

The Supreme Court of India will implement Artificial Intelligence-powered software to handle case listing and bench allocation, effectively removing human intervention from the process.

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant initiated this reform following an internal probe that uncovered systemic failures and irregular case allocations within the registry.

The move aims to dismantle entrenched incumbency and modernize the Court’s technological infrastructure. This administrative overhaul follows a glaring lapse where a previously dismissed challenge was erroneously relisted before a fresh bench.

Alongside these digital reforms, the registry has undergone an unprecedented wave of interdepartmental staff transfers to ensure transparency and efficiency.
