The e-Courts Mission Mode Project is being implemented in three phases with the objective of strengthening the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the judicial system. Phase I (2011 - 2015) was primarily focused on basic computerization and internal connectivity in courts. As a result, 14,249 Courts were computerized and Local Area Network (LAN) was installed at 13,683 courts.
Phase II (2015 - 2023) focused on ICT facilitation of judicial services to citizens. The components included computer hardware, computerization of DSLAs/ TLCs, Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity, trainings of stakeholders, establishment of eSewa Kendra, etc. An advanced CIS software, National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG) and systems for digital filing and payments were developed, which revolutionized the way public accessed the services provided by the judiciary.
As per the Detailed Project Report (DPR) of eCourts Project Phase III, digitization of court records is a central focal point of the eCourts initiative. Before Phase III, only 5.9% of the total legacy records were digitized by 21 High Courts. Therefore, a robust infrastructural regime for scanning and digitisation has been approved under Phase III for digitisation of approximately 3,100 crore documents, including legacy and current records. A Digital Preservation Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has been prepared for scanning, storage, retrieval, digitisation, and preservation of judicial records.
The details of funds released under Phase II and Phase III of the e-Courts Project, High court-wise and year-wise, are at Annexure-I and Annexure-II respectively.
Further, the DPR proposes the setting up of infrastructure for paperless courts, including a customised software application for paperless courts wherein the e-filed and scanned documents can be displayed in the paperless court application and made accessible to judicial officers, litigants, lawyers, and the public. Judicial officers can access the cause list and digitized case papers/ paper books of their respective courts through their systems. The transition towards paperless courts through digitisation, virtual courts, e-filing, e-payments, and related initiatives has already resulted in a significant reduction in physical paper usage across Courts. The details of digitisation of records, virtual courts and video conferencing as provided by eCommittee, Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, High Court-wise and District court-wise are at Annexure-III.
Further, Digital Courts 2.1, a software tool developed by the Centre of Excellence for eCourts [CoEE], NIC, Pune, is a customized application for paperless Courts with facility of translation and transcription using AI. It enables judges to access all case related documents, pleadings, and evidence digitally, marking a significant leap toward a paperless court ecosystem.
Periodic reviews are undertaken in coordination with the High Courts and eCommittee, Supreme Court of India to assess the progress of implementation across States/UTs. Steps have been taken to enhance uniform digital access to justice through financial and technical support, capacity building initiatives, standardisation of platforms, and strengthened court infrastructure.
