Justice : Mirage in a Physical Court ?
https://lnkd.in/dVnaMzpw
========================================
In the matter of speedy delivery of justice ( the GOAL ) , our path is,
Ø 24 x 7 , “ Virtual Courts “ ( 10,000 must be set up by Dec 2024 )
Ø Presided by retired judges ( “ per case “ fees with BONUS / PENALTY clause ),
operating From the comfort of their homes
( provided with fast internet connection and a large monitor )
Ø Requiring no other infrastructure burden on the State
Apart from the above, following may be introduced in the Virtual Courts :
Ø No adjournments (ex parte decisions in the very first– and only –online hearing )
Ø All cross-examinations to be online
Ø Centrally governed AI Software for following processes :
# After online filing of a case , software will fix a date by which litigants
must submit ( online ), all the required documents and list of witnesses
( with their full contact details , including AADHAR ids )
# Fixing the ( one and only ) “ Hearing Date / Time “ based on receipt of
ALL documents from the litigants and their lawyers, as mentioned above
# If lawyers desire to quote a “case law“ / “previous court judgments",
these must be filed ONLINE , in advance , by a date fixed by the
software
# If lawyers wish to submit any argument generated by AI , same
shall be declared as such
