Abstract

The 21st century have seen many industrial development Information and communications technology (ICT) must be used to improve the standard of justice, ease courtroom traffic, and guarantee that cases are resolved promptly. ICTs in the judiciary have been successfully implemented in a number of nations, including Singapore, Canada, and Australia, with positive results. India envisioned and planned the E-Courts initiative to modernize the delivery of justice by automating a wide range of judicial tasks, fully computerizing the subordinate judiciary, and connecting all courts online. The judiciary's issues of a growing backlog cases, rising stagnation of filed cases and unheard-of case disposition delays should be resolved by implementation of new technologies. Any justice system must continue to be relevant, effective, and efficient. The Strategic Plan suggested that, following consultations with the High Courts, the Central Government, State Governments, and other knowledge and service providers, a National Policy and an Action Plan be developed centrally. The Strategic Plan also recommended a three-phase implementation strategy for integrating ICTs into Indian courts in order to achieve more efficient judicial system. The implementation and effects of E-Court system in the Indian Judiciary is discussed.
