Current worldwide issues such as cross-border protection of intellectual property rights, financial technology advancements, data confidentiality, cyber security, and the emergence of artificial intelligence demand legal frameworks to be much more adaptable, compatible across borders, and visionary. Despite these upheavals, our foundational principles offer a stable ship, with the rule of law serving as our steadfast guide.”
He went on to say, “The Indian judicial system is dedicated to making sure that laws evolve alongside advancements in technology and changes in international commerce. Programs such as the e-Courts initiative and the introduction of the Mediation Act signify a deliberate move towards enhancing efficiency, availability, and flexibility within our court processes. By promoting legal creativity while maintaining equity and consistency, we can establish a regulatory environment that supports both fair administration of justice and robust economic development in today’s interlinked world.”
