Indian judicial and legal systems are very slow to
adopt information and communication technology (ICT). Although some
steps have been taken to computerise the Indian courts yet by and
large they are insufficient and not relevant.
Electronic
delivery of justice in India is urgently needed.
E-courts
and ODR in India are essential part of electronic delivery
of justice in India. Despite the pressing need for establishment of
e-courts
in India we are still waiting for the establishment of
first e-court of India. Till august 2012 we do not have even a single
e-court in India.
The e-courts
project of India has failed to materialise in India and
establishment of e-courts in India is still a distant
dream. We need to expedite
the constitution and opening of e-courts in India as soon as
possible.
There are many reasons
for failure of e-courts in India but the chief among them
is lack of expertise and judicial will to implement the e-court
project. There is no dearth of funds for this project but its
implementation is very poor. The e-court committee has so far failed
to implement the e-court project effectively.
We at Perry4Law
and PTLB
have now taken very significant steps in this crucial direction. We
have launched
dedicated portals pertaining to electronic courts,
e-judiciary, ODR India, online arbitration, etc. Further, Perry4Law
and PTLB are also managing the exclusive techno legal e-courts
training and consultancy centre of India.
To strengthen the initiatives and projects of
Perry4Law and PTLB and to take these projects and initiatives to the
next level of development, Perry4Law and PTLB are in the process of
launching four crucial projects. These are:
(1) Electronic Courts: This initiative would provide e-courts services to national and international organisations, governments, companies, individuals, etc. At this platform you would be able to resolve your disputes through use of techno legal methods and procedures.
(2) E-Judiciary: This initiative would provide research, policy formulations, training, consultancy, project execution support, etc to various national and international stakeholders. It would cover areas like e-courts, e-judiciary, legal enablement of ICT in courts and judiciary, etc.
(3) ODR India: This is an India specific platform that would resolve various inter party disputes in an online environment. Techno legal methods and procedures would be used to resolve various disputes through Arbitration, Conciliation, Mediation and other similar methods.
(4) Online Arbitration: This initiative would provide ODR services to world at large. Individuals, organisations, companies, etc may resolve their disputes through this platform by using our techno legal dispute resolution services.
Indian judiciary in general and e-court committee in
particular has to play a more pro active role for the establishment
of e-courts in India. In the absence of institutional expertise,
e-court committee must also include other members that have actual
expertise to manage the project.
