Justice in the Age of Algorithms: A Constitutional and Jurisprudential Study of India’s Draft Regulations for the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Courts, 2026

Abstract The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into judicial systems marks a significant shift in the administration of justice, offering opportunities to improve efficiency, accessibility, and case management. Recognising the growing role of AI within the Indian judiciary, the Supreme Court's e-Committee released the Draft Regulations for the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Courts, 2026, with the objective of establishing a structured framework for the responsible adoption of AI in judicial processes. While the Draft Regulations seek to ensure that AI functions only as an assistive tool and not as a substitute for judicial decision-making, they also raise important constitutional and jurisprudential concerns relating to judicial independence, procedural fairness, transparency, accountability, and the rule of law. This study undertakes a doctrinal analysis of the Draft Regulations by examining their compatibility with the constitutional principles governing the administration of justice in India. Drawing upon comparative developments from other jurisdictions, this discussion evaluates whether the proposed regulatory framework adequately addresses concerns surrounding algorithmic bias, explainability, human oversight, and institutional accountability. It argues that although the Draft Regulations represent a progressive step towards judicial modernisation, they require a more rights-oriented framework capable of ensuring that technological innovation remains subordinate to constitutional values. The legitimacy of AI-assisted justice ultimately depends not upon technological advancement alone, but upon preserving public confidence in an independent, transparent, and human-centred judicial system.
