Justice, Algorithm and Missing Remedies: SC’s Draft AI Regulations

This piece examines the Supreme Court’s Draft Regulations on the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Courts, 2026, and highlights a significant gap in the proposed framework. While the Draft Regulations govern the use of AI in courts, they do not provide a dedicated remedy for harms caused by the authorised use of AI. Looking at global best practices, it is argued that the Regulations should include a right to explanation and a dedicated grievance redressal mechanism to promote accountability, transparency, and public confidence in the justice system.

Stablecoins and Corporate Criminal Liability: Rethinking Responsibility in Cross-Border Financial Crimes

The rise of stablecoins has transformed the digital asset economy, enabling faster and cheaper cross-border transactions. However, their increasing use in white-collar crimes ranging from laundering ransomware proceeds to sanctions evasion raises pressing questions around accountability. Traditional doctrines of corporate criminal liability anchored in centralised structures and subjective mens rea, fall short when applied to decentralised systems. This essay explores the doctrinal gaps in corporate criminal liability as applied to stablecoin ecosystems, analyses regulatory responses across key jurisdictions (US, EU, UK and Asia-Pacific) and proposes a “chain-of-liability” model that shifts focus from intent to systemic compliance failures. The authors argue for the development of a consolidated legal regime in India to bridge fragmented oversight and align with global enforcement standards. Continue reading Stablecoins and Corporate Criminal Liability: Rethinking Responsibility in Cross-Border Financial Crimes

Reframing Res Gestae: Towards a Narrow Hearsay Exception in BSA

The doctrine of res gestae was developed as a narrow exception to the hearsay rule. In Indian evidence law, however, its boundaries have gradually become blurred, with courts frequently conflating it with the broader rule governing facts forming part of the same transaction. In this article, the author analyses how this confusion has shaped judicial decisions, identifies the resulting doctrinal inconsistencies, and proposes a separate framework for the admissibility of spontaneous statements. Continue reading Reframing Res Gestae: Towards a Narrow Hearsay Exception in BSA
