Judgment text as reported

ISHFAQ AHMED VS MUSHTAQ AHMED art. 10a---Right to fair trial and due process of law---artificial Intelligence (aI), use of---Principle---Right to a fair trial before a competent, independent, and impartial judge is a fundamental principle of due process---aI must not overshadow the core guarantee of judicial autonomy--- While aI has potential to improve consistency and efficiency in legal processes, it also carries risk of introducing biases and limiting judicial discretion---Fairness and transparency must apply equally to aI-assisted rulings---Though aI may enhance efficiency and consistency, it cannot replicate normative judgment, ethical reflection, or contextual sensitivity essential to the act of judging---Dignity of judicial role lies not in mechanical generation of outcomes but in deliberative process of reasoning, listening, and responding a task that remains inherently and irreducibly human---Judicial reasoning involves not only logic but also humanity and it requires attentiveness, moral courage, and the ability to question unjust laws or outdated precedents---By contrast, aI operates within the constraints of existing data and lacks creative imagination and jurisprudential foresight necessary to develop new legal doctrines or safeguard emerging rights---Comparative jurisdictions have cautiously explored aI-assisted adjudication.
