That is the only way to reduce :
Ø pending
court cases from 3 crore
to 3 lakhs
Ø ave
pendency from 8 years to 8 weeks
Thank You, Supreme Court for moving towards this goal,
as reported in :
E-courts
may let cases be filed 24/7 from anywhere
Extract :
Ø Limiting
the registry’s role in prioritising cases, Phase 3 of the e-Courts project,
currently in the draft stage, has
proposed a 24/7 digital window to
litigants and lawyers to filecases from anywhere, anytime with the provision of
scheduling digital hearings in an open court , ensuring compliance
of timelines by both judges and litigants.
Ø Use
of artificial
intelligence
has been
proposed to “intelligently recommend schedules
for hearing by
optimising and coordinating the
schedules and time of different actors ( judges, lawyers and litigants)”, the
draft proposal put up on the website of the justice department seeking
stakeholders’ suggestions said.
Ø At
a cost of Rs 2300 crore, it has computerised almost all
19,000 functional district
and subordinate courts
with broadband connectivity
and equipped judges and courtrooms with modern communication gadgets.
Ø The
next phase of judicial reforms envisages a complete
transformation of Indian courts into digital platforms — having
facilities of,
#
e-Pay,
#
e-Summons,
# e-Hearings
#
e-Judgment ,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Now, judges can take help of artificial intelligence /TNN / 07 April 2021 ]
Extract :-
Where,
# litigants can appear
remotely,
# schedule hearings at his / her convenience, and
# an option of choosing alternative dispute resolution mechanism or a
regular case while e-Filing.
Ø It
has proposed an interoperable criminal justice system where connectivity
between courts, prison and police will be leveraged to ensure speedy trial of cases and
limiting adjournments
on account of non-appearance of witnesses or unavailability of lawyers.
Ø The
digital court will provide for a data exchange protocol embedded with a privacy
policy.
Ø During the second phase of the e-Courts project, more than 3,400 courts were made videoconference compatible, providing connectivity with prisons
These
facilities are already available in the Supreme Court and HCs

Dear
CJI Hon Shri Bobdeji,
My heartfelt thanks to you for
accepting my suggestions in following blogs/e-mails :
Ø Justice at Warp Speed ?
………………………………..[ 06 Mar 2012 ]
Extract :
No of judges
per million population in :
Ø USA ……………………
107
Ø UK……………………….
51
Ø India
…………………..13.5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ø Supreme
improves upon “ AdJourn “ ? ……….[ 21 Dec 2017 ]
Extract :
After
reading this , do not be surprised if some Start Up (
could be
: MeetUrPro / LawRato/ Vakilsearch / IndiaFilings / Vahura ) , comes up
with a Mobile App called ,
“ AdJourn “,
to enable BMC lawyers to enter the adjourned date in the App which
instantly and
site and simultaneously , on the web site of the concerned court !
Call this , “ Transparency at its Best “ ( - also to judge the performance of
the JUDGE ! )
With more than 30 million cases pending in Courts all over India ,” AdJourn “
could change the very
adopted by all the Courts !
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ø Justice
delayed is Justice Denied …………………………..[ 12 Sept 2018 ]
Extract :
If we want to
reduce the average “case disposal time “ from 6 YEARS to 6
MONTHS , we must do
better
· #
Launch online portal……..www.OnlineJustice.gov.in
…..having following
features / pages / User Interfaces :
# Who can register a
litigation and how ( detailed form to be filled in )
# What kind of complaints can be filed ( Eg; property / divorce / fraud /
loans etc )
# Time frame of hearings (
based on backlog at that point )
# Search / Selection of “
empanelled lawyers “ ( with their fees tariff )
# Method of conducting “ Online Trial “ (
Audio – Video Conference calls )
# Online payment of Court Fees / Lawyer’s fees
# Who can “ watch “ the online trial and
how ( Video broadcast ) and when
# Progress Chart as trial proceeds / Upload –
Download of documents
# Court Room allotted ( by software ) to each
litigation
Not being limited by any “ Physical Constraints “ , it will be possible ( for
the software ), to open as many
required
Only
limitation will be the Number of available Judges at any given time
Let none have doubts about the ability of our Start Ups to design / develop
and launch such a portal within
Work “ could resemble ,
Software Architecture For Online Jobs Fair
And as far as finding 10,000 Judges to conduct “ Online Trials “ from the
comfort of their homes ( and
on State except providing them with a fast broadband connection ), I
suggest that we rope in retired judges on a “ Per Case Retainer “ basis (
paid into their Jan Dhan accounts )
There must be a “ Bonus cum Penalty “ formula to govern the payments to
the Judges , depending
upon the “
given case as against the “Target Time “ ( to be computed
by Artificial Intelligent Software, based on historical data being continuously
compiled for all the cases, once the portal gets launched )
I urge Chief Justice Hon Deepak Misraji to treat this email as a PIL and “
direct “ the NDA government to initiate action on this suggestion ( I cannot
afford a lawyer ! )
