A delegation from the Judiciary of Bhutan, comprising senior Justices and officials from the Supreme Court of Bhutan, High Court of Bhutan, and Bhutan National Legal Institute, undertook an Official Study Tour to the Supreme Court of India from 8–16 May 2026, at the gracious invitation of Hon'ble Chief Justice of India, Justice Surya Kant. 

The delegation was received in an audience by the Chief Justice of India and had the rare privilege of attending a nine-judge Constitution Bench hearing in Court No. 1, gaining firsthand exposure to AI-assisted real-time transcription and the Court's advanced courtroom digital infrastructure. Technical sessions covered the Supreme Court's War Room, the Integrated Case Management Information System, e-Filing 2.0/3.0, hybrid hearing facilities, the on-premises Data Centre, and the Judges' Library. Dedicated interactions with Justice P.S. Narasimha, Chairperson of the AI Committee, and Justice Vikram Nath, Chairman of the e-Committee, offered valuable insight into responsible AI adoption, data governance, and the e-Courts Project's ICT initiatives. 

The programme further included engagements at the Delhi High Court, the Samadhan Mediation Centre, and the Delhi International Arbitration Centre, deepening the delegation's understanding of case management, digitisation, and dispute resolution.

The Judiciary of Bhutan extends its sincere gratitude to the Chief Justice of India, Justice Surya Kant and the Supreme Court of India for their exceptional hospitality and incredible learning opportunity. 

This engagement marks a meaningful continuation of the collaborative exchange established under the Memorandum of Understanding between the Supreme Court of Bhutan and the Supreme Court of India, reaffirming the enduring judicial partnership between the two nations.
