All four Bar associations at the Madras High Court have given a joint representation to Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala listing out a number of difficulties faced by advocates practising in the High Court as well as trial courts, while filing cases through the electronic mode.
Madras High Court Advocates Association (MHAA) president G. Mohanakrishnan, Madras Bar Association president M. Baskar, Law Association president P. Selvaraj, Women Lawyers Association president Louisal Ramesh and other office-bearers handed over the representation on Monday, April 9, 2024.
They primarily stated that the maximum file size of 20MB was not sufficient to upload case documents. The insistence on converting PDF documents to OCR was also causing great inconvenience, since it increased the file size by 1.5 times, and consequently exceeded the permitted file size, they said.
