Yesterday :
Maharashtra gets its first virtual court to handle traffic
challan cases [ 02 Nov 2020 ]
Extract :
Ø A dedicated virtual
court for traffic violations in Maharashtra has been
inaugurated by Chief Justice of India S A Bobde, an initiative aimed at freeing up
judicial officers in every district from the burden of routine cases involving
challans
Ø “ Cases from across Maharashtra will be filed in this virtual
court electronically “, said Justice Dhananjay Chandrachud. “ A single judge sitting in Katol will
adjudicate all the cases electronically . Violators can plead guilty and pay the fine by visiting www.vcourts.gov.in , or choose the option to contest the case “
Ø “ Implementation of the virtual court concept has freed 19 judicial officers who now can handle
litigation instead of taking up routine traffic violation cases “, Justice
Chandrachud told TOI
Justice Chandrachud said the E-Committee could assign the task of running the virtual court to ANY judicial officer in Maharashtra. The task of compounding the offence on payment of fine can be performed from ANYWHERE in the State as all work is done electronically by virtual mode , he added
Average e-transactions for 304 days this year was Rs 66.56 lakh per day

SC
favours serving summons through text
msgs, email [ 28 Oct 2020 ]
Extract :
Ø The
Supreme Court on Tuesday favoured serving court summons through SMS, WhatsApp and
email in contrast
to the present system of physical delivery to the accused and sought response
from high courts and state DGPs on adopting such digital means.
> A bench of Chief Justice S A Bobde and L Nageswara
Rao, which is
examining various measures to remove
" The high courts must also be directed to formulate a scheme for online mediation of pending cases at the trial / appeal / revisional stages so that pending case could be effectively disposed off “
Ø Embracing technology keeps us in tune with the times. Since
the virus outbreak, this view has gathered further relevance. India has about
448 million mobile phone internet users according to statista.com. The apex
court’s move will lessen physical contact in delivery of summons and increase
quicker public outreach in many cases.
