eCourts facilities:
· e-Filing:
e-Filing allows citizens to file legal documents electronically, without having
to visit a court in person. This saves time and money, and makes the justice
system more accessible to people in remote areas.
· e-Pay:
It allows citizens to pay court fees and other charges electronically, using a
variety of payment methods and helps to reduce corruption.
· Virtual
Courts: Virtual Courts allow cases to be heard and adjudicated online, without
the need for the parties to appear in person. This is especially helpful for
cases where the parties live in different parts of the country.
· Case
Management Systems (CMS): It help courts to manage cases more efficiently and
effectively. CMS track the progress of cases, generate reports, and send
reminders to parties and judges.
· Judgment
Search Portal: The Judgment Search Portal allows citizens to search for and
download court judgments online. This helps to improve the transparency and
accessibility of the justice system.
In addition to these facilities, eCourts also provides a variety of other services, such as online cause lists, online transcripts, and video conferencing.
