Marking a significant step towards modernising the judicial system, the Hon’ble Chief Justice of Patna High Court, Shri K. Vinod Chandran, in collaboration with officials from the NIC Bihar, inaugurated a pilot Scanning and Digitization Centre at the Purnea District Court.
This new facility is focused on the scanning and digitization of crucial legal documents, a task that has been entrusted to the National Informatics Centre Services Inc. (NICSI). The primary objective of this initiative is to preserve these vital documents in a digital format, ensuring their longevity and easy accessibility.
The inauguration ceremony, attended by prominent figures from the legal and digital technology sectors, highlighted the importance of integrating technology into the judicial process. Chief Justice Shri K. Vinod Chandran, addressing the gathering, emphasized the significance of this project in safeguarding legal documents against the wear and tear of time and in improving the efficiency of the legal system.
The digitization process will not only secure the documents against physical deterioration but also facilitate quicker and more efficient retrieval of information, a crucial factor in the judicial process. It is seen as a move towards a more transparent and responsive legal system, aligning with the broader goals of digital India.
