CJI Surya Kant called for greater use of technology and artificial intelligence in courts, stating the judiciary should function like hospitals operating “24×7” to provide faster relief, while emphasising that justice delivery systems must respond immediately to citizens’ grievances and concerns.
CJI Surya Kant met Bhutan’s King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck in Thimphu, reaffirming stronger judicial cooperation between India and Bhutan. They discussed digitising Bhutan’s judiciary and expanding technical support while strengthening long-standing bilateral ties through future judicial partnerships.
Justice Surya Kant warns that court digitisation hasn’t helped the poor due to digital exclusion. Says justice must stay human-centric and accessible to all.
