Days of endless waiting to get a hard copy of a Supreme Court order is over. Now, all it takes for the court to do is a soft tap of the ‘send’ button and, may be, a couple of blinks of the eye after with ‘FASTER’, an abbreviation of ‘Fast and Secured Transmission of Electronic Records’, a digital platform formally launched by Chief Justice of India (CJI) N.V. Ramana on Thursday.
The platform would be used by the court officials to instantly to send e-copies of the orders through a secured electronic communication channel to intended parties.
These orders may vary from stay of execution of a person to freeze on the demolition of a slum to bail orders for undertrial prisoners.
