CJI Launches ‘E-filing 2.0’: Service Will Be Available Round the Clock

The Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud has successfully launched ‘E-filing 2.0’ and has informed the lawyers that the facility for filing cases electronically will be now available round the clock.

The Chief Justice, has been actively advocating and encouraging to adopt and opt for e-courts and e-filing of cases across the country.

The CJI has inaugurated an ‘e-Sewa Kendra’ on the Apex Court’s premises.

“We have now unveiled this morning the ‘E-filing 2.0’. The facilities will be available to all lawyers 24X7,” he said, adding that two facilitation centers have been started to help lawyers “who do not have these facilities and are not acquainted with the technology, I request all lawyers to use ‘E-filing 2.0’,” the CJI said at the outset of proceedings.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who was present in the Courtroom, and other lawyers welcomed the move. “Only because of my Lords, we were able to get rid of that mental block,” the law officer said.

On the ‘e-sewa kendra’, CJI Chandrachud said, “One can walk in the ‘e-sewa kendra’ to not only file cases through the e-filing software but also avail other services to know case status from any court or Tribunal across the country”

Through the use of e-filing, cases are being filed in the Supreme Court as well as several other Courts across the country.
