The e-courts project has been pivotal in augmenting institutional efficiency within the judiciary through the integration of information and communication technologies. Under this project, a majority of Indian courts today have access to basic and advanced computing hardware. Additionally, many new software programmes have been designed by the National Informatics Centre to bring online the judiciary’s significant chunk of diurnal administrative work.
