Supreme Court to accept petitions online

The Supreme Court of India is going Online. The e-revolution has finally reached the supreme power of India too. The Supreme Court will now accept the petitions online for October 2006 onwards. The Registrar of Supreme Court, Mr. V K Jain told that “everything is ready; there are few technicalities to be sorted out”. The SC has tied up with the ICICI bank for the collection of court fees.

Now the petitioners can file their petition online and can even get it check online for defects. The petitioners won’t have to visit the Registry and won’t have to buy file and stamps. The Registry will inform the litigant/lawyer foe the defects and they can correct them online. The judges will get to see the files given by the registry only.
