Allahabad high court
PRAYAGRAJ: The Allahabad high court on Tuesday launched a virtual court at the Allahabad district court for the disposal of the cases related to road traffic violation, Interoperable Criminal Justice System (ICJS) and Integration of Civil Court with Land Records (Bhulekh) through online mode. The virtual court was e-inaugurated by Chief Justice Govind Mathur.
The ICJS has been introduced to facilitate speedy justice through data-exchange between the courts, police/prosecution, jails and the forensic labs while the integration of civil court with land records will help resolve property disputes quickly. This will immensely benefit the litigants as they will not be required to visit the court for traffic-related violations and deposit the fine through on-line mode. Besides, the revenue generated through it will go to the treasury of the state government. As a result, there will be speedy disposal of traffic related challans.
