Major steps are being taken continuously to make the judicial process transparent, fast and technology-enabled across the country. In this series, the state of Jharkhand has taken another historic leap in the direction of digital governance. The state-of-the-art ‘Vidhi Portal 2.0’ has been officially launched to make legal work, litigation monitoring and court case management completely paperless and transparent in the state. With the launch of this new digital platform, now the complete account of the ongoing cases, status of government cases and legal matters in various courts across the state will be available in digital form at a single click, which is expected to provide great relief to lawyers, officers and common citizens.
What is ‘Vidhi Portal 2.0’ and how will the functioning of the justice system change?
This new portal prepared by the Law Department of the Government of Jharkhand is an advanced and hi-tech updated version of the old version. With the help of ‘Vidhi Portal 2.0’, real-time tracking of every small and big court case registered in the state can be done. In which case, when is the next date, which case is at which stage and what is the stand of the government or the concerned department in it, complete information about it will now be available on a single secure digital dashboard. This will get rid of old problems like loss or delay of files and will bring unprecedented speed in the judicial process.
Digital platform became a boon for lawyers and administrative officers
Judicial officers, government lawyers and various administrative departments will get the biggest benefit from the launch of this portal. Whereas earlier it would take weeks to find case documents and files, now the smart search engine of ‘Vidhi Portal 2.0′ will bring all the documents on the screen in a few seconds. Apart from this, there will also be transparency in online review of cases and monitoring of lawyers’ performance, which will reduce delays in disposal of court cases.
Strengthening foundation of e-governance and Digital India in Jharkhand
This initiative of Jharkhand Government is proving to be a huge milestone in the direction of implementing Digital India and e-Governance vision at the grassroots level. From the general public to big legal experts, this step has been appreciated. More features of this portal are expected to be added in the coming days, so that technically the Law Department of Jharkhand can become an example for other states of the country. This digital transformation, which frees one from the hassles of visiting courts and bundles of pages, has brought a new era of transparency in the administrative structure of the state.
