SC takes a maiden step towards paperless court:


SC on paperless court

Context

  • Supreme Court takes a maiden leap towards paperless court by introducing Integrated Case Management Information System (ICMIS).

Stacks of files replaced with electronic devices

  • The court unveiled a comprehensive switchover to the digitized system in all new cases in the first five courts.
  • Judges can see information about cases on a slick interactive digital display device that will guide the judges through the daily roster of cases.
  • At the moment, only fresh matters listed in the first five courts will be accessed by the judges digitally on an interactive display device
  • This comes as a relief to judges, lawyers, litigants and court staff who earlier had to deal with multiple copies of voluminous petitions and bulky annexures running into thousands of pages on a daily basis
  • All interested parties will get soft copies related to the cases.
  • The Supreme Court has opened two help desks on the court’s premises provide assistance relating to ICMIS.
ICMIS

·  Using ICMIS will benefit by providing information on

o Next tentative date of listing generated through e-process.

o Categories and Acts & Section.

o Objections in Defective matters.

o Interlocutory Application/Documents.

o Office Reports.

o Listing dates.

o Judgement/Orders.

o Appearance information of accused.

o Tracking of file movement.

o Status of the notice issued.

·  There will also be an online court fee calculator and an online limitation calculator, apart from an online court fee payment gateway.

·   With the help of a new software, High Court will be able to access the case records and it will reduce the repetition of case data entries in the Supreme Court.
