New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in the Constitution Day celebrations in the Supreme Court on Saturday.
Since 2015, the day has been celebrated as Constitution Day to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution of India by the Constituent Assembly in 1949. During the programme, the Prime Minister will launch various new initiatives under the e-court project, the Prime Minister’s office said in a statement.
The Project is an effort to provide services to litigants, lawyers and the judiciary through ICT enablement of courts. The initiatives being launched by the Prime Minister include Virtual Justice Clock, JustIS mobile App 2.0, Digital court and S3WaaS Websites.
“Virtual Justice Clock is an initiative to exhibit vital statistics of the justice delivery system at the court level giving the details of the cases instituted, cases disposed and pendency of cases on a day, week, and monthly basis at the Court level. The effort is to make the functioning of the courts accountable and transparent by sharing with the public the status of case disposals by the court. The public can access the Virtual Justice Clock of any court establishment on the District Court’s website,” the statement said.
