Delhi High Court gets first e-court system in India

This is positive and progressive!!

The government is for sure not sleeping on their feet any more. I agree with what Mr. Kandadai has commented. I think it has to be taken in the same spirit. Thanks for the referral Tarun :)

Digitization of court records can speed up retrieval of records and public access to relevant details. Recorded Video-Conferencing will add to the quality of proofs in trials while speeding up hearing process, 

While this definitely will not solve the pendancy of cases - it did take many years of inefficiency to create this back log - it is most certainly a step in the right direction. The other means of speediong up disposal is to monitor the judge's performance and speed up the process of trial. These will take some time as the method needs to be carefully studied to and implemented step by step to avoid miscarriage of justice in the interest of innovation and speed.

There is another angle to the whol;e thing. Monitoring the performance of each and every court will become much easier for the portfolio (high court) judges - judges who are in charge of specific sub-ordinate courts as the data will be readily available.

This last frontier of involvement by IT is long over due. 

I truly appreciate this initiative and believe we have all the required technology and man power to convert the whole legal process and make it much easier and accessible to common people. May be the larger population staying in villages will not be comfortable with this change but the fast process will definitely get appreciated. The current legal system is horrible and people are just afraid of going for help to the court as court will become the worst enemy of their life. This process will also help us to get rid of our bulky files. Now we have to carry only a USB device or CD of our case, which is much easier. We can now speed up all pending cases last decades. This move should reach all high courts and after that distirct courts also..
