The government’s court portals, which provide online access to case information, are reportedly experiencing widespread outages and technical failures. According to an article in ThePrint, users have reported that the sites are frequently unavailable, hindering the ability of litigants, lawyers and the public to track court proceedings and access judicial documents. The article argues that the persistent malfunctioning of these digital platforms could undermine the transparency and efficiency of the Indian justice system, potentially delaying cases and eroding public trust.
Analysis: The report highlights a growing infrastructure issue within the judiciary’s digital framework. If the outages continue, they could exacerbate backlogs and impede the timely delivery of justice. Addressing the technical shortcomings would require coordination between the judiciary, information technology departments and private service providers to ensure reliable uptime and secure data handling.
