India’s Supreme Court Goes Digital: CJI Launches ‘One Case One Data’ and AI Chatbot ‘Su Sahay’
Chief Justice Surya Kant unveils twin digital initiatives to unify court data across all levels of the judiciary and make Supreme Court services more accessible to citizens
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Monday announced two landmark digital initiatives aimed at transforming the country’s judicial infrastructure — a unified data integration platform called “One Case One Data” and an AI-powered public assistance chatbot named “Su Sahay”.
Making the announcement at the outset of the day’s proceedings, the CJI said the “One Case One Data” initiative would integrate multi-level case information from all high courts, district courts, and taluka courts into a single, unified system — a move widely expected to eliminate data silos that have long hampered efficient case tracking across the country’s sprawling judicial network.
“We are commencing the ‘One Case One Data’ initiative with multi-level information of all high courts, district and taluka court details embedded. We look forward to developing an efficient case management system,” the CJI said.
The initiative is designed to create a comprehensive, interconnected digital database that allows seamless case tracking from the lowest rung of the judiciary to the apex court, significantly improving transparency and reducing administrative delays.
In a separate but equally significant announcement, the CJI launched “Su Sahay” — an Artificial Intelligence-powered chatbot integrated into the Supreme Court’s official website. Developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) in collaboration with the Supreme Court Registry, the chatbot is intended to serve as a first point of digital contact for litigants and citizens seeking guidance on court procedures and services.
“This will provide a simple and convenient interface for citizens to seek front-end guidelines and guidance in accessing essential services of the Supreme Court,” the CJI said, underscoring the judiciary’s commitment to making justice more accessible.
The Chief Justice also took a moment to commend the collective effort behind both initiatives, expressing gratitude to Registry officials and members of the Bar for their support. “My best wishes to the Registry and to the officers who have done this commendable job. I am quite confident that these initiatives will prove beneficial for all stakeholders,” he added.
The twin launches signal a broader, accelerating push by India’s judiciary to harness technology — from AI tools to integrated data systems — in its mission to reduce pendency, improve transparency, and bring the courts closer to the citizens they serve.
