The technological transformation of the Kerala High Court stands out as a pioneering example of how a traditional institution can embrace digital innovation, going by a recent study conducted by DAKSH.
The Allahabad High Court ordered a man accused of committing rape on the pretext of marriage to not put the alleged victim's photo as his display picture on WhatsApp or Facebook as a condition for his release on bail.
Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud on Friday suggested that instead of relying solely on traditional methods of communication, lawyers should adopt more technologically friendly approaches.
The judge stressed that he could not take credit for the technological advancements made during his time at the High Court since he had the support of technologically savvy judges and staff.
"The world is moving ahead with technology. And as the judiciary of the world’s largest democracy, we cannot stay behind," Justice Khanwilkar said at a BCI event.
