According to a press release issued by the High Court, using this tool, over 317 High Court judgments and over 5,136 District Court judgments have been translated from English to Malayalam and published on the respective court websites.
This initiative was led and guided by Justice A Muhamed Mustaque, Chairman of the Computerisation Committee, along with Justices Raja Vijayaraghavan V and Kauser Edappagath, who are members of the Artificial Intelligence Assisted Legal Translation Advisory Committee.
The press release stated that, “In the first phase, the Kerala High Court proposed to translate and make available all judgments certified for reporting in Malayalam.”
