  The Supreme Court of India has been a pioneer in using ICT in courts through
its e-Courts project in India. Yet another leap, its recent project, Design,
Development, and Implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution, tools
for transcribing arguments and Court proceedings at Supreme Court of India, has
potential to impact the way AI algorithms are designed in India, and not just
for this particular project. In this paper, we evaluate the endeavours of the
Supreme Court of India in light of the state of AI technology as well as the
attempts to regulate AI. We argue that since the project aims to transcribe and
translate the proceedings of the constitutional benches of the Supreme Court,
it has potential to impact rule of law in the country. Hence, we place this
application in High Risk AI as per the provisions to the proposed EU AI Act. We
provide some guidelines on the approach to transcribe and translate making the
maximum use of AI in the Supreme Court of India without running into the
dangers it may pose.
