Vijay Ghanshyam Gadiya v. Union of India & Anr.
Supreme Court of India · Sep 2, 2026
What happened in this matter?
Fabricated: Case Law | The Customs authority relied on case laws that the Supreme Court verified as non-existent or carrying fake citations. Outcome: The High Court order and Order-in-Original imposing the penalty were set aside; proceedings were remanded for fresh determination by a different officer of the same rank.. The Supreme Court found that the Customs authority’s Order-in-Original relied on judgments and articles apparently generated using AI. Its verification showed that some authorities were non-existent or had fake citations, while other existing authorities did not support the propositions attributed to them. Treating reliance on such dubious material as fatal to the order, the Court set aside both the High Court judgment and the penalty order and remanded the matter for a fresh decision. The Court left it to the appointing authority to consider action against the author of the order.
