**Summary:**
The Supreme Court of India is implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) tools to enhance case management and accessibility. AI-powered tools are currently utilized for transcribing oral arguments in Constitutional Bench matters, with transcripts available on the Supreme Court website. In collaboration with the National Informatics Centre (NIC), AI/ML is also being used to translate judgments from English into 18 Indian languages, accessible via the eSCR portal. Furthermore, in partnership with IIT Madras, the Supreme Court has developed AI/ML tools for defect identification within electronic filing software, with prototype access granted to 200 Advocates-on-Record. Prototypes for defect correction and data extraction are also under testing. These tools are planned for integration with the electronic filing module and the Integrated Case Management Information System (ICMIS). While AI/ML is not currently used in the decision-making process, the Supreme Court Portal Assistance in Court Efficiency (SUPACE), an AI-based tool designed to analyze case facts and search for relevant precedents, is in the experimental stage. Deployment of SUPACE is contingent on the procurement of necessary hardware, including graphic processing units and Tensor Processing Units. This information was provided by the Minister of State for Law and Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal, in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha on July 25, 2025.

As per the information provided by the Supreme Court of India, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine
Learning (ML) based tools are being deployed in case management. These tools are being used in transcribing
oral arguments in Constitutional Bench matters. The AI assisted transcribed arguments can be accessed from
the website of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court of India is also using AI and ML based tools in close coordination with National
Informatics Centre (NIC), in translation of judgments from English language to 18 Indian languages viz.,
Assamese, Bengali, Garo, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Khasi, Konkani, Malayali, Marathi, Nepali,
Odia, Punjabi, Santali, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. The judgments can be accessed through the eSCR portal of
the Supreme Court of India.
The Supreme Court of India, in close coordination with IIT Madras, has developed and deployed AI and ML
based tools integrated with the electronic filing software for identification of defects. Recently, the access of
the proto-type has been granted to 200 Advocates-on-Record.
The Supreme Court of India is also testing prototypes of AI and ML tools, for curing defects, data, meta data
extraction in collaboration with IIT Madras. This AI and ML based tool will be integrated with the electronic
filing module and the case management software, namely Integrated Case Management & Information
System (ICMIS).
However, AI and ML based tools are being used by the Supreme Court of India in decision making process.
The AI based tool, Supreme Court Portal Assistance in Court Efficiency (SUPACE), aimed at developing a
module to understand the factual matrix of cases with an intelligent search of the precedents apart from
identifying the cases, is in experimental stage of development. SUPACE may be deployed after procurement
and deployment of graphic processing unit(s) and other latest technology-based units such as Tensor
Processing Unit.
This information was given by the Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Law and Justice
and Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha
