Launch of Phase 3
- The Union Budget had announced the launch of Phase 3 of the e-courts project with an outlay of ₹7,000 crore
- The first two phases of the project were planned and executed with an overall budget of ₹639.411 crore and ₹1,670 crore
- Phase 3 of the project sought to interlink courts across the country, besides setting up the infrastructure of paperless court, digitisation of court records, and opening of advanced e-Sewa Kendras in court complexes.
- The success of virtual courts and the necessity, witnessed during the pandemic, of embracing technology in efficient justice administration had triggered a rise in the budget for the third phase of the project.
