Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch a slew of initiatives under the e-court project when he will be attending the Constitution Day celebrations in the Supreme Court in New Delhi on Saturday.
The project aims at providing better services to litigants, lawyers and the judiciary through ICT-enabled courts. These include virtual justice clock, JustIS mobile App 2.0, digital court and S3WaaS websites.
The virtual justice clock is an initiative to exhibit vital statistics of the justice delivery system at the court level with the details of the cases instituted, cases disposed and pendency of cases on a day/week/month basis at the court level.
