The Supreme Court will go "paperless" within six to seven months, Chief Justice J S Khehar said on Thursday. The observation on the issue of digitisation of the top court was made when senior advocate Indira Jaising, who has filed a PIL seeking uniform guidelines on designating lawyers as senior, sought expeditious disposal of her plea by a larger bench.
"Within six to seven months you will not file any paper. We will electronically pick up trial court and high court records and there will be no need of case records being filed afresh in SC," the bench of the CJI and Justices D Y Chandrachud and S K Kaul said. Justice Khehar said the court will soon dispense with the need for filing voluminous documents and paperbooks as it is in the process of digitising court records across the country.
