The initiatives launched by the Prime Minister include Virtual Justice Clock, JustIS mobile App 2.0, Digital court and S3WaaS Websites. What are these initiatives though? Let us take a look;

 

 

'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 month 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. Besides, even the public can access the 'Virtual Justice Clock' of any court establishment on the District Court's website.

 

 

 

JustIS Mobile App is developed for the Judges of District & Subordinate Courts in the country. The App is username and password protected. The App is a digital repository that provides all details about his/her court at the handset 24×7. JustIS Mobile App 2.0 is a tool available to judicial officers for effective court and case management by monitoring the pendency and disposal of not only his/her court but also individual judges working under them. This App is also made available to High Court and Supreme Court Judges who can now monitor the pendency and disposal of all the States and Districts under their jurisdiction.
