Whether the use of artificial intelligence in legal proceedings should be regulated or restricted under existing evidence and procedure laws in India.
Aaj ka motion yeh hai: kya AI-generated content — jaise AI-drafted documents, AI-analysed evidence, ya AI-generated arguments — courts mein permissible evidence ya argument ke roop mein mane ja sakte hain? Yeh ek deeply consequential legal question hai jo technology, reliability, aur judicial integrity — teeno ko ek saath chhoota hai. Main Counsel Aarav se request karta hoon ki woh apna pehla submission pesh karein.
My lord, aaj ka yug digital revolution ka yug hai — aur Court ka kaam hai ki woh is reality se aankhein na phere. Article 39A ke tehat, State ka yeh daayitva hai ki legal system sabko equal access aur justice provide kare; agar AI-generated content — jo research, translation, aur analysis mein laakhon logon ki madad karta hai — ko court se bahar rakhenge, toh hum un litigants ko aur bhi peechhe dhakeil denge jo already resources se vanchit hain. Aur Article 141 ke principle ko dhyan mein rakhte hue, yeh is Hon'ble Court par bhi nikhar karke zimmedaari dalti hai ki woh ek clear, forward-looking framework sthapit kare jo AI content ki admissibility ko regulate kare — naaki usse blanket ban se rok de.

My lord, Aarav sahab ne bahut aakarshaak tasveer pesh ki — lekin is motion ka asli sawaal yeh hai ki kya AI-generated content par aankh moondhkar bharosa kiya ja sakta hai, jab humari judicial system ki neenv hi 'reliability' aur 'authenticity' par tiki hai. Indian Evidence Act ki Section 114 ke tahat court 'common course of natural events' dekh kar presumption banata hai — lekin AI ka to koi 'natural course' hi nahi, woh trained data par dependent hai, bias se bhara ho sakta hai, aur uski verification ka koi established standard abhi tak maujood nahi. Bina kisi regulatory framework ke AI evidence ko allow karna Article 141 ke tehat bind karne wale precedent ke bina ek andhere mein chhalaang lagana hoga.
Ref: Indian Evidence Act, 1872 · Section 114; Constitution of India · Article 141
My Lord, vipaksh ka kehna hai ki AI-generated content unreliable hai — lekin yeh argument tool ko reject karta hai, use nahi. Indian Evidence Act ki Section 114 ke under, court ko un facts ka presumption lene ka adhikar hai jo natural events aur human conduct ke hisaab se likely hain; AI output, jab properly authenticated ho, isi presumption framework mein fit baithta hai. Isliye blanket ban ki bajay, court ko ek regulated admissibility standard chahiye — rejection nahi, scrutiny.
Ref: Indian Evidence Act, 1872 · Section 114
My lord, paksh ne AI ko sirf 'tool' bata kar is mudde ki gehrai ko nazarandaaz kar diya — lekin Article 141 ke tehat jab tak Supreme Court koi clear binding standard nahi deta, tab tak alag-alag courts apne-apne tarike se AI-generated content ko accept ya reject karengi, aur is inconsistency se Article 39A ke tahat guaranteed 'equal justice' ka seedha violation hoga. Ek ameer party ke paas technically verify karne ke resources honge, ek garib party ke paas nahi — yeh disparity AI-evidence ko allow karne ke pehle hi dangerous hai. Isliye jab tak ek uniform, binding framework exist nahi karta, AI-generated content ko evidence ke roop mein permissible banana premature aur judicially hazardous hoga.

Aaj ki debate ka motion tha: 'Kya AI-Generated Content ko Courts mein Evidence ya Argument ke roop mein permissible hona chahiye?' — Ek taraf ne kaha ki Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023 ki Section 63 ke tehat electronic records pehle se admissible hain, aur AI content bhi usi daayre mein aa sakta hai; doosri taraf ne kaha ki AI ka inherent risk — hallucination, manipulation, aur unverifiability — judicial integrity ke liye khatarnak hai. Dono pakshon ki baat sun kar, mera balanced legal suggestion yeh hai: AI-generated content ko blanket reject ya blanket accept nahi karna chahiye — balki ek structured judicial framework banana chahiye jisme mandatory human certification, chain-of-custody disclosure, aur Section 63 ke tahat prescribed certificate compulsorily attach ho, taaki Article 39A ka equal justice ka promise bhi pura ho aur sach bhi surakshit rahe. Ab aap — citizens — is debate ko rate karein aur apna view share karein!
