Vikram Nath Urges Digital Open Justice Reforms
Supreme Court Justice Vikram Nath on April 3 in Ahmedabad delivered the 21st Justice PD Desai Memorial Lecture, arguing that digital integration is now procedural and praising Gujarat’s YouTube live-streaming pilot from October 26, 2020, which helped spur 19 high courts to stream proceedings. He said live streaming and responsible AI (for captions, transcripts, translations and archives) can boost access and accountability, but cautioned about hallucinations and counterfeit transparency.
