SC: Litigant uses AI to cite fake cases, advocate 'never been more embarrassed'

• * A petitioner filed an 'AI reply' at the Supreme Court, which included hundreds of fake cases and misreported legal questions.
• * Senior advocate C A Sundaram, representing the petitioner, admitted the mistake, stating he was "never been more embarrassed" by the fabrication of case laws.
• * Senior advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul warned that relying on AI-generated falsehoods would be "disastrous" for the judicial system.
• * The Supreme Court took cognizance of the matter and will hear the case on its merits.
• * The incident occurred in a high-profile case between Omkara Assets Reconstruction Private Limited and Gstaad Hotels Private Limited.

Why It Matters: AI generating fake legal cases in court undermines trust in the legal system.
