E-judiciary system on cards
E-judiciary, a step towards modernisation of the judicial system, is going to be launched in the country with a view to ensure fair trial, reduce stockpile of cases and sufferings of the people.
"At the initial stage, a pilot project would be implemented in 10 districts -- Dhaka, Comilla, Chittagong, Sylhet, Brahmanbaria, Gopalganj, Natore, Jessore, Moulvibazar and Rangpur -- before launching the e-judiciary and then modern judicial system would be launched in all districts," said M Sabbir Foyez, additional register (admin and judicial) of the High Court division. According to the project profile, the Supreme Court and Bangladesh Computer Council will jointly implement the pilot project after getting approval from the Executive Committee of National Economic Committee (Ecnec) meeting, he said.
"If the E-judiciary system becomes effective then the trial seekers would be able to know proceedings and judgment of the cases by mobile phones staying in the houses," said the official. "The people concerned with the trial process, between the higher court and the lower court, could also finish their activities quickly through collecting information related to the cases." Besides, the system will help to preserve record of the old cases and its judgments under “digitalised system”, he said.
The system would introduce digitalisation in case management, said lawyers.
