The press release highlighted that the High Court successfully posted 225 judges through the ‘Automatic District Allocation System,’ a software designed to carry out these postings without human intervention. This marks a significant shift in the traditional method of allocating judicial postings, which typically involves a more manual, human-driven process.
The press release elaborated on the process, stating,
“The single-click generation of the allocation list was successfully done in the august presence of Acting Chief Justice Manoj Kumar Gupta.”
This event was further dignified by the presence of Justice Anjani Kumar Mishra, the senior judge of the High Court, who also heads the computerization committee of the High Court. Their involvement underscores the importance and the high-level endorsement of this new system.

The press release also mentioned that a detailed notification regarding the postings would be published soon, providing more information on this landmark initiative. This move by the Allahabad High Court sets a precedent for other judicial bodies to consider similar technological advancements in their administrative processes, paving the way for a more modernized and efficient judicial system in India.
