New Delhi, 10th Dec. Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Friday said in the Lok Sabha that the government is working on a uniform video conferencing guideline for all courts in the country that will be implemented very soon.
Noting that hearing of the cases via video conferencing will help in dealing with pendency of cases, he said in 21 High Courts, the government, in consultation with them, has implemented rules for video conferencing.
“We are in trial mode so that we can provide a uniform video conferencing across all courts of the country,” Rijiju said.
Responding to a question asked by the BJP lawmaker J.S. Mahto on the status of e-courts mission mode, Rijiju also said the digitalisation of all courts has been in progress and during the entire Covid period the Courts have done commendable jobs.
Replying to a question asked by the BJP MP Manoj Rajoria that orders by e-courts should also be given in Hindi and the local language, the Minister said that this would be done once the digitisation is completed.
