India's top court angry after junior judge cites fake AI-generated orders

India's Supreme Court has threatened legal consequences after a junior judge cited fake AI-generated orders in a property dispute case in Andhra Pradesh. The incident occurred in August last year when a junior civil judge passed an order based on four alleged past judgements that were later found to be AI-generated. The defendants challenged the decision, pointing out the fabricated citations. The high court acknowledged the error but accepted the trial court's decision, citing the principle of good faith. The junior judge had used an AI tool for the first time and believed the citations to be genuine. The Supreme Court has taken notice, calling it a matter of "institutional concern" and examining the ruling given by the lower court.
