Research Report: Defective E-Filing Systems of Indian Courts
An Editorial Initiative of Raman Media Network (RMN)
Author and Researcher: Rakesh Raman
This research report reveals that the e-filing systems in Indian courts are not working properly and the so-called digital courts also exist in a ruined state. Although the government is spending huge amounts of public money to introduce technology in the judicial systems, the lawyers and judges are not quite skilled to use technology. As a result, the public money is being wasted on digitalization, but the citizens are not getting benefitted.
KEY FINDINGS OF THE REPORT
The technology introduction in Indian courts is not picking up steam.
The Chief Justice of India (CJI) D. Y. Chandrachud is exaggerating the use of technology in courts.
The government is spending thousands of crores of rupees to establish digital courts, but all the public money is going down the drain.
The e-Committee of the Supreme Court is full of unskilled and inefficient bureaucrats.
The lawyers and judges show complete aversion to technology while they also lack communication skills – particularly in English language.
The so-called e-filing systems exist in a ruined state and are hardly used by litigants.
Since there is no accountability for the judges, e-Committee members, and the officials in the Justice department, they are working in a free-wheeling manner and not handling their responsibility honestly.
There is a need to completely overhaul the frontend and backend digital infrastructure by deploying a new qualified team of domain experts who understand the emerging aspects of law, language, digital design, communications, and technology.
