The Delhi High Court plans to start e-courts, that will not only ensure speedy justice for all but reduce paperwork and be eco-friendly, by next month. "The necessity of e-courts has arisen due to shortcomings of a paper-based system like storage, maintenance and wastage of a lot of paper," said Justice B.D.Ahmed, who is the in-charge of the e-court committee during the presentation of the project to lawyers and judges Thursday. The e-courts will start functioning from early next month, he said. Emphasising the need for fast disposal of cases, he said e-courts will function in a more organised manner and anyone across the world can see the case file. "We are also working on the project in which live court proceedings would also be seen on the website," Justice Ahmed said, adding that the project will be first started in one court and will soon be started in all other courts, including the five district courts in the capital. For lawyers and litigants, the e-courts will be a great help as it would enable them to stop carrying bulky files to the court and just a USB device or the CD of their case. "Recording of evidence in any case will be done electronically. We are planning to have centres all across the capital from where the person can record his statement and the court can see it via video-conferencing. This will help us in saving a lot of time not only of litigants but also of the court," said Justice S. Muralidhar, another member of the e-court committee. He noted the new system will also help to put a halt to frequent adjournments by the lawyers. With the help of e-courts, warrants, court notices and other documents can be sent via e-mail to the party or the post office concerned from where a service slip will be sent back confirming the receipt. "We will also ensure that courts shall provide adequate facility to the lawyers while they argue their case using the laptops. Judges will also be given a touch screen handbook which will be like their computer screen and they can read it like a file," Justice Ahmed said. With the introduction of e-courts, filing of cases will be much easier and lawyers will have just to submit a CD or DVD. "We are also planning to introduce a system where court fees can be paid online so that entire work is done at a click of mouse," Justice Ahmed said, noting introduction of e-courts will enhance transparency, accountability and accessibility for a litigant. |
