Stating that recent ‘hacking’ into High Court of Karnataka’s videoconference system has perturbed everyone in the legal fraternity, Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud said here on Saturday that the judiciary will have to live with such instances and cannot stop the use of technology.
“We have to make our Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems more robust and ensure that if there is any instance or glitch like that we attend to it,” the CJI said, addressing the judges of the HC while launching 11 e-initiatives of the HCK.
Pointing out that it was believed during initial stages of implementation of ICT that it is one part of the high courts as only a few knew about it and rest used paper files, the CJI said that what the apex court was aspiring for was total digital transformation of the Indian judiciary and the ICT has to be part of the heart of judiciary’s ecosystem.
