Delhi court imposes ₹20,000 costs over faulty AI petition
India
A Delhi court just imposed costs of ₹20,000 on a litigant for turning in a petition drafted with AI tools, which ended up being confusing and full of errors.
Punam Pandey had filed the application, but the judge found it so poorly written that it wasted the court's time.
