Kollam is becoming the first city in India to launch a 24/7 online court, offering litigants an unprecedented digital platform for filing and resolving cases without the need for physical presence or paperwork.
The cour represents a transformative leap in the country’s justice system, designed to ensure seamless and round-the-clock access for citizens, as reported by News9, a partner of TV BRICS.
By enabling electronic submission of evidence and virtual hearings, the system is expected to significantly reduce case backlogs and accelerate resolution times. With 24/7 operation, users can access court services at their convenience, breaking down barriers posed by work schedules, geographic distance, or personal commitments.
Key features of the online court include secure e-payment systems for court fees, electronic delivery of summonses, and real-time updates on case progress, enabling litigants and lawyers to monitor proceedings effortlessly.
The platform is a trailblazer in modernising India’s judiciary, making justice more accessible, efficient, and inclusive. As Kollam takes this pioneering step, it sets the stage for a broader digital transformation across the nation’s legal framework, with the potential to redefine how justice is delivered in the 21st century, the source stated.
