This morning, the CJI had announced that the Supreme Court is officially 'onboard' with the National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG) now. The CJI described the onboarding of the Supreme Court data on NJDG portal under the court's 'open data policy' as a step "to bring transparency and accountability in the judicial domain."
The NJDG gives real-time data regarding the pendency of cases in District Courts and High Courts across the country. So far, the data of the Supreme Court was not available in the NJDG. Now the Supreme Court data is also available on NJDG.
It may be noted that just yesterday, the Union Cabinet had approved the beginning of the launch of Phase 3 of the e-courts projects while allocating a budget of Rs 7,210 crore for the same.
On the independence day, PM Modi had expressed appreciation for the initiative taken by the Supreme Court to publish judgments in regional languages.
