E-Inspection Facility

To enable the advocates to inspect the records, e-Inspection facility was launched. As per the prevailing practice, application for inspection is filed before the Additional Deputy Registrar under rules contained in Chapter-XXIII of the Rules of the High Court of Orissa, 1948 and the applicant has to wait for considerable time for arrival of the physical record.

After digitization, the records are now available in soft copies. Through e-inspection facility, the Bar members can now apply online for inspection and once approved will be able to see the soft copy of the record in a dedicated computer system within minutes without having to wait for the physical record.

While speaking on the occasion, Dharanidhar Nayak, President of the High Court Bar Association highlighted the importance of technology in justice delivery system. Ashok Kumar Parija, Advocate General lauded the efforts of Chief Justice Muralidhar in upgrading the working condition of lawyers as well as employees as the Chief Justice.
