CJI Surya Kant Urges BRICS to Embrace Healthy Disagreement

Senior judges from BRICS countries and partner countries met in New Delhi.

Chief Justice Surya Kant said countries should be able to share ideas even when they disagree.

He compared this approach with ancient Nalanda University, where scholars from many places studied and debated together.

He said BRICS could become a modern version of that open learning community.

Kant also explained that courts need to deliver decisions quickly and fairly.

Predictable courts can make it easier for businesses and investors to work across countries.

Judges discussed mediation, arbitration and how courts can handle disputes between countries.

They also talked about artificial intelligence and digital tools in the justice system.

Some speakers said technology should help courts without removing the human element or weakening the rule of law.
