Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud on Thursday said a “huge budget” allotted for the third phase of the e-courts project will see technology make inroads into the working of the judiciary, especially the lower courts.
The Chief Justice was reacting to senior advocate Dushyant Dave’s remark that lower courts need a technological boost.
The top judge, heading a Constitution Bench hearing the challenge to the abrogation of Article 370, narrated in open court about how, during the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the High Courts was left in a quandary with no funds to buy the necessary video conferencing software.
