What is paperless court and how will it work:
A paperless court is a court that functions without physical paper. Where all judges work rely on digital court records. In the first phase of the process of making a paperless court, the courtroom is converted into a smart court. The case files are then made available to the lawyers in these courts on the computer screen in front of them. Also, copies of documents can be viewed on the computer placed before the opposing side and the judge. E-courts have also played a big role in making courts paperless.
Each part of this process can be viewed, processed through the dashboard or virtual box of individual stakeholders and participants in the judicial process. All stakeholders including Litigants can access, work and update matters from the comfort of their homes, offices or in transit.
Hyderabad High Court was the first e-court in the country, which opened in July 2016. The e-court project was introduced by the Supreme Court in 2005. It is a pan India project, which is monitored by the e-committee. Which is funded by the government.
