The e-Courts and Video Conferencing (VC) system has significantly boosted judicial efficiency in the Gauhati High Court and its district courts, enabling the disposal of over 8,00,970 cases and marking a major milestone in India’s digital justice transformation.
On Sunday(25th August),Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the challenges faced by the common man in the Indian judicial system and reiterated the government’s efforts to simplify justice delivery. He addressed these issues during the platinum jubilee celebrations of the Rajasthan High Court in Jodhpur.
The Supreme Court of India’s 2024-25 budget, slightly reduced from the previous year, emphasizes the E-Court initiative with a substantial allocation of Rs 7,000 crore. Despite overall budget cuts, specific funds for “Administration of Justice” remain nearly unchanged.
