Abstract:

Indian Judiciary is in urgent need of re-engineering its processes to optimize the use of its human resources and to bring about change management by harnessing the potentiality of the available Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to the fullest extent. The objective of this exercise is to enhance the judicial productivity both qualitatively and quantitatively so as also make the Justice delivery system affordable, accessible, cost effective, transparent and accountable. Similar objectives have been achieved in other parts of the world by use of technology but in India though its manpower is known for its technology expertise, the ICT benefits could not be fully explored and utilized in public service sectors like Judiciary and other 1 organs of the State.
