Reliance on non-existent, falsely cited, or hallucinated AI-generated precedents undermines the sanctity of adjudication and vitiates the decision-making process. Artificial intelligence may serve only as an assistive tool and cannot replace independent legal adjudication. Use of even minimal fake or unreliable precedent renders a penalty decision unsustainable where that material informed the adjudicating authority's reasoning. The penalty-confirming order and the original penalty order were set aside, with proceedings revived for fresh adjudication by another officer of the same rank.
