The Delhi High Court recently stayed a district court judgment directing Akasa Air to pay ₹1.08 crore to a travel agent, after the airline raised concerns that the district court judge appears to have used artificial intelligence (AI) to draft the ruling.
The Division Bench of Justice Prathiba M Singh and Justice Madhu Jain stated that, prima facie, the manner in which the district court judgment has been drafted indicated AI use.
However, it observed that the matter will have to be examined in more detail before arriving at such conclusions.
“The manner of drafting and the manner in which the text distinguishing the case laws is set out in the impugned judgement, prima facie, gives an impression that there is some AI softwares which may have been used for the same. However, at this stage, it cannot be conclusively said until further examination as to whether any AI software has been used by the ld. District Judge and if so, whether the same judgement has been properly reviewed or not," the April 30 order said.
The Court added that if the district court judgment has cited non-existent propositions of law as claimed by Akasa, it would be a matter of concern.
“If non-existent propositions are attributed to judgements, it is a matter of concern," the order reads.
The matter will be heard next on August 20.
The case concerns a suit filed by ABS Tour and Travels, a Delhi-based tour operator, against Akasa's parent company, SVN Aviation Private Limited.
