“Technology can be used to stop all kinds of manual intervention. If we want to bring transparency to our courts, we must use technology. We must ensure that first date is auto date. There should be no choice to the members of the registry,” he suggested.
He reiterated that access to justice was bound to improve with use technology in a proper way, which would also enable use of optimum space n courts.
Having said so, he concluded that the use of modern gadgets and technology by itself was not sufficient to improve the quality of justice.
”You have to do something else. Your use of technology is not going to improve quality of justice. For improving justice, ultimately human element comes in. And that we have to remember. Technology has its advantages, but ultimately, the members of legal fraternity will have to improve quality of justice rendered in courts,” the judge said.
