In a recent ruling, the Bombay High Court addressed a rent dispute case, emphasizing the inappropriate use of AI tools for legal submissions. The case involved a petitioner challenging a revision order under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, asserting that the respondent misused a residential license agreement. Justice M.M. Sathaye criticized the reliance on unverifiable case law references, which wasted judicial resources. The Court noted that while AI can aid legal research, lawyers must verify the authenticity and relevance of the information produced. This misuse was deemed a hurdle to efficient justice delivery. The Court reinstated the eviction order from the Competent Authority and mandated the respondent to pay ₹50,000 to the High Court Employees’ Medical Fund. The ruling underscores the importance of integrity in legal documentation and the responsibility of legal professionals to ensure the accuracy of AI-generated content.
