E-COURTS MISSION MODE PROJECT
E-COURTS MISSION MODE PROJECT
The e-Courts Mission Mode Project is being implemented in a phased manner across the country with the objective of strengthening the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the judicial system. Phase I (2011 – 2015) was primarily focused on basic computerization and internal connectivity in courts. As a result, 14,249 Courts were computerized and Local Area Network (LAN) was installed at 13,683 courts.
Phase II (2015 – 2023) focused on ICT facilitation of judicial services to citizens. The components included computer hardware, computerization of District State Legal Authority (DSLAs)/ Taluka Legal Services Committees (TLSCs), Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity, trainings of stakeholders, establishment of eSewa Kendra, etc. An advanced CIS software, National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG) and systems for digital filing and payments were developed, which revolutionized the way public accessed the services provided by the judiciary.
The e-Courts Project is currently in Phase III (2023-2027). During the last year, the e-Courts project has seen continued progress through expansion of e-filing, e-payments, increased adoption of virtual and hybrid hearings, digitisation of court records, strengthening of Case Information System, and enhanced public access to case information through the NJDG etc. Some key initiatives and achievements under the eCourts Project as on 31.01.2026 are as under:
