Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: Justice Abhay S. Oka, a Supreme Court judge, counseled court officials against filing charges for contempt of court based on remarks made on social media. On Sunday, at Ravindra Bhavan, Justice Oka addressed a session on artificial intelligence and social media on the final day of the two-day 10th MP State Judicial Officers Conference.
"I was in Mumbai and there is a routine practice there that advocates raise points demanding even the arrest of sitting judges," he stated in an attempt to defend his position. It therefore occurs, and judges must overlook it. Oka further advised the judges to approach such instances with strength of mind.
Meanwhile, Chief Justice Ravi Malimath emphasised that AI is a tool to improve the efficiency of judicial services and not to make judgments. “Judiciary should have faith in the intelligence of judges and not in Artificial intelligence," he said.
During the conference, the judges also raised the demand for 5G facilities for them. They said that they face various network and internet issues with the 2G BSNL sims provided to them.
On Saturday, Senior Supreme Court judge Justice Sanjeev Khanna had expressed concern that the facilities and allowances provided to judges are more than before, but the judicial system still needs improvement. He said that for this the judges will have to look at both the parties equally and give them equal opportunities to present their views, evidences.
