India's top court is angry after a junior judge cited fake AI-generated orders in a case against the defendants. The court had previously assigned an official to survey the property and file a report, which the defendants objected to. However, the judge dismissed their objection citing four past legal judgements. The high court acknowledged this, but agreed with the trial court's decision and stated that if the court had considered the correct principles of law and applied it to the facts of the case, the incorrect or non-existent orders would not be grounds for setting aside. The High Court also sought a report from the judge, stating that this was her first time using an AI tool and she believed the citations were genuine.
