The Jharkhand High Court convened its first ever "paperless Court" through video conference on Tuesday. With this it became one of the few high courts of the country to have introduced a “paperless court.”
A division bench of Chief Justice Dr. Ravi Ranjan and Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad convened the "paperless court" whereby not a single chit of paper was used and disposed of two matters through video conference.
An e-court is a paperless court in which all proceedings take place in a digital format. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the courts had quickly adapted the technology and conduct virtual hearing. It will help lawyers/litigants to access easy justice administration.
"Jharkhand High Court is (among a) few of such High Courts now to join the paperless concept of e-court project," a statement issued by the court said.
