Artificial Intelligence help reduce backlog of pending Cases: Union Law Minister

  

On Saturday, Law Minister Kiren Rijiju said artificial intelligence could help in "surprising ways" to ensure sustainable justice delivery & reduce backlog of pending cases.

Addressing the concluding session of a Supreme Court-organised 2-day Constitution Day event here, he said artificial intelligence (AI) can help in implementing court management tools like case flow management, case management clearance rates, online information of case laws, & automated algorithm-based support system, which can all add to the efficiency of judicial functioning.

Since Courts in India are already undergoing a transformational change by going digital, the emerging domain of artificial intelligence could help in surprising ways to ensure sustainable justice delivery & reduce the backlog of pending cases, the Minister said.

The Union Minister said that machines, of course, can't replace human Judges, but they could assist judges in the decision-making process by giving calculated & unbiased opinions.

He said the Synchronisation of AI with human wisdom can help bring speed to delivery of justice.

President Ram Nath Kovind, CJI NV Ramana, Judges of the Apex Court & high courts, among others, were present at the event.

Referring to concerns over pending cases in different courts, the minister said adequacy of judicial infrastructure is critical for reduction of pendency & backlog of cases in courts.

The present government, Mr Rijiju said, is sensitive to the needs of providing well equipped judicial infrastructure to the subordinate judiciary to facilitate administration of justice in a manner that allows easy & timely delivery of justice to all.

The Govt is committed to investing maximum possible resources for building the next generation quality infrastructure so that they develop into engines of economic growth, he noted.

The role of the judiciary in the adjudication of infrastructure disputes & keeping the larger national interests in mind is crucial for the flow of the developmental trajectory & overall project costs, he said.

Referring to the alternative dispute resolution mechanism to lower the burden of courts, Rijiju said the central government has been taking various policy initiatives for promotion & strengthening of the mechanism, through amendments in existing laws. As a continuation of this exercise, bringing a standalone law on mediation is under consideration, he told the gathering.
