In his address, the CJI also urged the High Courts to have their own online portals for Right to Information (RTI) applications so that the process of disclosure of information about courts become streamlined and accessible.
“We at the Supreme Court have launched an online RTI portal. I would request all High Courts, including Delhi, to have their own online RTI portal so that we make the process of disclosure of information about our courts streamlined and accessible,” he said.
The CJI also stated that the Supreme Court has started the facility for online submission of appearances of advocates so that there are no errors.
“Earlier, the court masters used to handle a large number of papers every morning. Slips would be handed over to them. There would be errors and lawyers would come seeking correction in the orders. All that has been obviated now.”
