Supreme Court Judge Justice AM Khanwilkar on Sunday proposed for identifying and developing software to enhance ‘artificial intelligence’ for better court management.

Justice Khanwilkar, speaking during the concluding day of the second national conference of Computer Committees of High Courts, however, advocated that technology is not panacea for speedy justice and is only a facilitator or enabler, which can be used for value addition of the Court management activity.

At the same time, highlighting the unique initiatives taken by the Punjab and Haryana High Court in leading e-Awareness campaign, Chief Justice Krishna Murari has made special mention of involving State Legal Services Authorities in spreading e-Awareness at grass root level through para-legal volunteers.

“In a unique initiative, High Court of Punjab and Haryana has also engaged Law Universities and Law Colleges in e-Awareness campaign. They have been requested to provide link of websites of Courts on their websites for the benefit of students,” he said.

Several Judges, representing various High Courts, also shared best practices and use of software applications in their respective High Courts, besides deliberating upon new initiatives being taken and future IT projects for the benefit of litigants, lawyers and other stakeholders in the justice delivery system.

Challenges, being faced by various High Courts, in migration from CIS 1.0 to CIS 3.0 were also discussed.

In the interactive session, the participating Judges suggested for inviting experts from IITs and IIMs for seeking solutions to the technical and management issues.

There was also suggestion for inviting officials from government organizations like ISRO to discuss feasibility of making use of satellite technology in place of use of optical fibre for connectivity.

Making the concluding remarks, Punjab and Haryana High Court’s computer committee chairman Justice Dr Ravi Ranjan said that the Conference has achieved its initial purpose of bringing together all the stakeholders in implementation of e-Courts Projects as the participants have been informed regarding developments being made by the Supreme Court’s e-Committee.

At the same time, the e-Committee, through its members, has been apprised of the challenges being faced by various High Courts in implementing e-Courts Projects, he said.
