CJI Surya Kant Announces 'One Case One Data' Initiative, Launches AI Chatbot Su Sahay

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant unveiled two major digital initiatives during a Monday address in New Delhi. The first, the 'One Case One Data' initiative, aims to consolidate case information from all high courts, district courts, and taluka courts into a single, interconnected database. This system will improve case management efficiency by providing a comprehensive view of judicial proceedings across the country. The second initiative is the launch of 'Su Sahay,' an AI-powered chatbot integrated with the Supreme Court’s official website. Developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) in partnership with the Supreme Court Registry, the chatbot is designed to offer citizens easier access to court services, guidelines, and essential information. The tool will serve as a user-friendly interface for litigants seeking assistance with Supreme Court-related matters. Kant expressed confidence in the initiatives, praising the efforts of Registry officials and legal professionals who contributed to their development. He emphasized that these digital advancements will benefit all stakeholders by streamlining judicial processes and enhancing public access to justice. The 'One Case One Data' initiative is expected to address longstanding challenges in data fragmentation across India’s court system. By centralizing information, the system aims to reduce delays and improve transparency in legal proceedings. 'Su Sahay' will operate as a front-end support system, offering real-time guidance on court procedures, case statuses, and other judicial services. The CJI highlighted the chatbot’s potential to democratize access to legal information, particularly for individuals navigating complex legal processes.
