IIIT Hyderabad Study Takes A Data-Driven Look At Fairness In Justice Delivery System

The researchers used OLAP to analyse 3,500 Indian criminal cases, covering judgements delivered between 2005 and 2010. Wide variations in sentencing for similar crimes across Indian courts has raised concerns on consistency and fairness in the justice delivery system, with punishments for offences such as murder, rape and kidnapping differing significantly depending on the state, the court and the judge’s discretion, despite the same legal framework applying nationwide. The findings come from a research paper – ‘Data Cube for Exploring Anomalies in Justice Delivery: An Experiment on Indian Judgements’ by IIIT-H researchers Sriharshitha B, Prof Krishna Reddy P and Narendra Babu U, in collaboration with Prof Santhy KVK, NALSAR. The study uses data analytics to uncover anomalies in Indian court judgements. The researchers demonstrate how sentencing for comparable crimes can differ markedly depending on factors such as location and interpretation, underscoring the need for data-driven tools to identify and address such disparities.
