FAQ :

The Gujarat High Court became concerned after a tax order was found to rely on "AI-generated citations and case laws" that were either non-existent, incorrectly cited, or irrelevant to the case.

Notices have been issued to the Central GST and Excise authorities.

The case laws were described as "non-existing," incorrectly attributed to other courts, or genuine but unrelated to the specific issues in the tax dispute.

The High Court observed that the findings in the adjudication order appeared "flawed and deceptive," suggesting a blind reliance on AI-generated case laws without proper verification.

The court acknowledged the need for clear guidelines or "parameters" for quasi-judicial authorities when relying on judgments, especially those generated by AI tools, to ensure authenticity and relevance.

The matter has been listed for further hearing on March 12.
