Few Suggestions for the Draft Vision Document (eCourts Project (Ph III))
P.R.Vignesh
Given below are my humble suggestions:
1. Inclusion of Final year LL.B (Law students) into the eCourt services, without them necessarily having to be a litigant in any case.
Petitioners having enough money and a well-informed mind can fight
their cases in courts without much friction. But those who would find it
difficult will be the illiterate and people falling in the poor strata of the
society.
An idea to mitigate this issue is to include our students.
Final year law
students inspired by the concept of “Antyodaya” given by our Hon. PM
Narendra Modi (i.e., to serve the last section of the society) can aid in
helping the most vulnerable sections of the society like abandoned
senior citizens in old age homes.
What they can do?
- Set up laptops for one-to-one interaction of the petitioner/plaintiff with the judge
- Fill up the required information in initial stages of filing a case,- Upload the necessary documents. - Keep track of the hearing, etc.
Other added benefits:
- Feedback given by students at every step in the process can help in
allaying the flaws encountered,
- Gives the students a hands-on-experience into the new digital era of
Indian Judiciary.
2. In civil/consumer cases, when a petitioner files a complaint in the ePortal, he/she may
- get a list of all similar legal precedents from the national repository (without disclosing the names and information of the parties involved),
-recorded court proceedings (if possible),
- transcript of the judgement, number of days taken, etc.
- Armed with this knowledge, an honest seeker of justice can decide on
his/her future course in fighting the case.
