Pragmatic Scenario

The Supreme Court of India decided to hear important cases from the respective chambers of judges for the first time of its kind, the Digital Hearing. It happens when a coronavirus outbreak leads to a lockdown in the region. Except for certain significant cases, all trials will likely to be delayed by the Supreme Court as the number of coronavirus cases in the country increases.Video-conferences can be used to hear proceedings in urgent situations.

To change the Indian judge's control of ICT, the e-Courses initiative was conceived based on the National Strategy and the Action Plan on Information and Communication Technology.

Many attorneys, jurors, lawyers and staff employees around the country have long embraced document delivery,electronic legal research, payment and time structures, and fundamentally new tools for the handling of trials.

Conclusion

The first and foremost move in resolving the above is the adoption of a framework for the establishment of electronic tribunals. Developing a well-defined and pre-decided policy climate is important because it helps to establish a consistent vision and path for the e-courts system in India. The need to upgrade the existing state of infrastructure is another crucial step. To support this e-Court initiative, the government needs to identify and construct infrastructure. A robust protection system that makes the involved stakeholder's free access to case information must be enforced.

Sensitizing e-courts via talks and workshops will help clarify the facilities and offer e-courts convenience. And, as technology is here to live, seeking methods for change will be the step in the right direction. The new normal is the future….
