 West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee recently addressed the Supreme Court of India during hearings related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Her statements were made as part of legal submissions challenging the manner in which the voter list revision process was being carried out.

During the hearing, she expressed concerns that the SIR process could result in the exclusion of genuine voters. She pointed out that individuals such as women who changed their names after marriage and people who shifted residences within the state might be wrongly removed from electoral rolls due to documentation issues.

Mamata Banerjee also stated before the Court that West Bengal was being specifically targeted through this process. She raised questions about the deployment of officials and observers and argued that the revision exercise could affect democratic participation if not conducted carefully.

In her submissions, she emphasised the importance of fairness, transparency, and due process in electoral administration. Her remarks were aimed at highlighting potential administrative and procedural issues rather than commenting on the Court itself.

The Supreme Court heard the arguments and is examining the matter. As of now, the case remains under judicial consideration, and no final decision has been delivered.

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...
