The Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, has discussed the importance of utilizing technology in judicial work to make it accessible to the general public and to build trust in the legal system. He emphasized that citizens should understand how courts function as they are funded by public revenue.
Justice Chandrachud highlighted that even small issues such as pension disputes or cases of arson are taken seriously by the courts. To bridge the technological gap in India, E-seva kendras have been set up in districts to provide access to legal processes for everyone. Video-conferencing has also enabled millions of cases to be heard across the country, ensuring that justice is delivered efficiently.
The Supreme Court aims to engage with district judges and stakeholders in the legal system through conferences to address the challenges faced by litigants, lawyers, marginalized groups, and women seeking justice. These interactions provide valuable insights into issues affecting different groups within the judicial system. The Supreme Court’s commitment to involving all stakeholders in decision-making demonstrates a commitment to fair and transparent justice delivery.
