10 YEARS AFTER LAUNCH - E-filing service only at four high courts               Link

Nearly a decade after the eCourts project began in 2010 on a mission mode and after having spent close to Rs 1,000 crore, only four high courts in the country have allowed online e-filing of cases. Barring Delhi, Bombay , MP and Punjab & Haryana high courts, online e-filing facility has not been started by other HCs.

.... Most of the 18,000 functional courts in the country have been computerised, including all subordinate and district courts. ...

The purpose seems to have been defeated with very few courts adopting even the basics of the digitisation features of the proposed eCourts project -e-filing and sending summons through emails being some of them....

As part of computerisation of courts, it has been proposed to assess the causes of delay and repeated adjournments, making it mandatory for each judge to record the reasons for adjournments. .... had also proposed to include audio-video recording of proce edings as that would help discourage retractions by witnesses.
