NEW DELHI: In a giant leap towards digitisation, the Supreme Court has digitised a whopping one crore five lakh pages and records of civil appeals, ranging from the pre-independence era till 2002 as part of its recent reforms.
The digitisation of court records has been done as part of the document management system and would make the documents accessible with just a click of the mouse, the ‘Indian Judiciary Annual Report 2015-2016’, issued by the apex court, said.
The report said a new assembly line capable of producing 50,000 scanned pages per day was created in February last year which enabled digitisation of the voluminous documents.
“With a view to scan and digitise court records including pending and decided case files in order to activate document management system and to strengthen immediate accessibility with more impetus on transparency, a new assembly line capable of producing 50,000 scanned pages per day, in end to end processing, was created in February 2016,” the report said.
“As on date, all civil appeals pertaining to the period 1938 to 2002 have completely been scanned and are available on the Supreme Court’s D-space which may be accessed on internal network,” it said. (AGENCIES)
