Deccan Chronicle reports that the Telangana state government has filed a petition before the High Court seeking intervention against AI-generated fake documents used in a high-value land dispute involving over 400 acres. Authorities claim deepfake content was used to misrepresent land records and ownership history.

The case raises concerns about the use of generative AI in legal fraud and the lack of technical and legal tools to verify evidence authenticity. Legal experts are calling for AI-specific evidentiary standards and stronger criminal sanctions for digital forgery.

The High Court is reviewing the matter as a precedent-setting case.
