IIIT Bengaluru students develop AI tool to detect cases for resolution in judicial system

Students from IIIT Bengaluru have developed an innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool to help resolve millions of pending cases in various courts. The tool, named 'Nyaya Setu' AI, identifies and recommends cases that can be easily resolved through dialogue or Lok Adalat, rather than taking years in court. The team, comprising Harshit Khattar, Aarush Gupta, Utkarsh Gupta, and Adarsh Singh, won the 'Inclusive Innovation for Bharat' award at the 'Ideas for India Innovation Challenge 2026' competition.
