Indian Judiciary Adopts AI For Court Processes

India's courts are adopting AI unevenly in 2025, with Kerala issuing a Nov. 1 memorandum mandating AI-assisted live transcription across district courts and the Supreme Court’s Centre for Research and Planning releasing a White Paper on AI and the judiciary in November. Startups such as Adalat and Nyaay deploy automation for specific chokepoints, but legacy workflows, capacity gaps, and missing governance limit nationwide scaling.
Key Points
- 1Deploys AI transcription mandates and pilots across select Indian courts, led by Kerala's November memorandum
- 2Highlights persistent delays from illegible notes, missing stenographers, and fragmented workflows undermining case progress
- 3Requires practitioners to invest in tooling, training, and governance to scale AI across 18,000+ courts
Scoring Rationale
Official mandates and a Supreme Court White Paper boost adoption prospects, but uneven capacity and governance limit scaling.
