Jharkhand High Court Chief Justice Sanjaya Kumar Mishra on Wednesday virtually inaugurated a platform for remote court hearings in the presence of Judges of the High Court, the Advocate General, and other dignitaries. This initiative aims to provide access to the High Court from distant locations.
The Computer and Digitization Committee of the Jharkhand High Court has taken a significant step by deciding to open E-Seva Kendra facilities and allowing the use of existing E-Seva Kendra from District Daltonganj, Dumka, and Pakur for virtual court proceedings. This move is expected to enhance accessibility to justice for residents in these areas.
However, the e-filing of new cases from E-Seva Kendra in these places has been temporarily halted. The decision is attributed to teething problems such as stamp reporting, removal of defects, etc. Steps will be taken after consulting all stakeholders to address these issues and facilitate the e-filing of cases in each and every court across the State.
