E-filing service only at four high courts in India

-The Times of India

NEW DELHI: Nearly a decade after the eCourts project began in 2010 on a mission mode and after having spent close to Rs 1,000 crore, only four high courts in the country have allowed online e-filing of cases.

Barring Delhi, Bombay, MP and Punjab & Haryana high courts, online e-filing facility has not been started by other HCs.

According to a statement by minister of state for law P P Chaudhary last week, e-filing of soft copy along with physical copy is being carried out only in the high courts of Delhi, Bombay, Punjab & Haryana and Madhya Pradesh.

There are 24 HCs in the country. Most of the 18,000 functional courts in the country have been computerised, including all subordinate and district courts.

Computerisation of courts was initiated by the government in 2010 on a mission mode to be supervised by an apex court e-courts committee to simplify procedures and expedite justice delivery.

The purpose seems to have been defeated with very few courts adopting even the basics of the digitisation features of the proposed eCourts project — e-filing and sending summons through emails being some of them.
