Title: India's Top Court Angry After Junior Judge Cites Fake AI-Generated
Orders

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the BBC: India's Supreme Court has
threatened legal consequences after a judge was found to have adjudicated on
a property dispute using fake judgements generated by artificial
intelligence. The top court, which was responding to an appeal by the
defendants, will now examine the ruling given by the lower court in the
southern state of Andhra Pradesh. The Supreme Court called the case a matter
of "institutional concern" and said fake AI-generated judgements had "a
direct bearing on integrity of adjudicatory process." [...] Coming down
sternly against the fake judgements, the top court last Friday stayed the
lower court's order on the property dispute. It said the use of AI while
making judgements was not simply "an error in decision making" but an act of
"misconduct." "This case assumes considerable institutional concern, not
because of the decision that was taken on the merits of the case, but about
the process of adjudication and determination," the top court said. The court
said it would examine the case in more detail and issued notices to the
country's Attorney and Solicitor General, as well as the Bar Council of
India.
