Following challenges to the so-called UGC Bill 2026 (formally, UGC equity-related regulations), the Supreme Court of India has sought detailed explanations from the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Central Government. This step is part of the judicial review process and does not indicate a final conclusion.

The Court has asked the authorities to clarify under what statutory powers the UGC framed the 2026 regulations and whether the procedures followed were consistent with the UGC Act, 1956. This includes examining whether the UGC acted within its regulatory mandate or entered areas requiring legislative approval.

Another issue under scrutiny is the scope and definitions used in the regulations. The Court is examining whether the provisions are clear, non-arbitrary, and capable of uniform implementation across universities without causing legal uncertainty.

The Supreme Court has also sought explanations on the impact of the regulations on universities and stakeholders, including how grievance redressal mechanisms would function in practice and whether adequate safeguards exist against misuse.

Until the Court completes hearings and delivers a final judgment, the stayed provisions remain temporarily inoperative. The matter continues to be examined through affidavits, submissions, and arguments from all concerned parties.

At this stage, the proceedings are procedural and fact-finding in nature. The final legal position will depend on the Supreme Court’s decision after full consideration of the issues involved.

In my opinion, technology cannot replace human judges in courts; it can only assist judges in providing judgments because law is not just a subject of rules and data but also of justice, equality, and fairness . Decisions require human morality, honesty, and qualities beyond what AI can provide. Judgments cannot be decided solely on past data, as law deals with human lives and values. In the contemporary world, AI has already begun speeding up tasks such as legal research , Managing case files , scheduling hearings and meetings , analyzing large documents , also works as a data analyst . Keeping in note that all of these are the supporting role which an AI provides  to the judge , to make their work easier and improve consistency.    The major problem with giving complete authority to an AI judge is that artificial intelligence is trained on past data, including previous judgments. If those judgments contain biases—such as social, class, or gender bias it is quite po...
