Chief Justice Surya Kant delivered the 4th Ashok Desai Memorial Lecture in New Delhi Monday, outlining the Indian Judiciary's vision for 2076. He stated courts must extend beyond physical buildings to bring justice to citizens rather than requiring citizens to seek it. Kant emphasized technology and AI will evolve within judicial systems, processing information and identifying precedents while judges focus on interpretation. He warned efficiency gains must not compromise due process, empathy, discretion, and contextual understanding in adjudication.
