Dr. Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India, in the presence of Mr. Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, the Chief Justice of the High Court of Delhi, Mr. Justice Rajiv Shakdher, Judge & Chairperson of the Information Technology Committee, launched the Digital Courts for Contested Traffic Challans’, and ‘Bail Orders Sharing Module on the e-Prison platform for Delhi High Court through Video Conferencing on 28th April 2023. Expressing appreciation for the initiative, the Chief Justice of India stated that this would provide seamless access to citizens wishing to contest the challans issued to them. He further emphasised that by launching such an initiative, the goal is to ensure that not only are orders communicated to the jails but also compliance with those orders. Two Digital Courts for Contested Traffic Challans have been established in the East and North-East Districts of Karkardooma Courts in Delhi. These Digital Traffic Courts will handle the adjudication of contested challans through the Virtual Traffic Court, conducting proceedings virtually, which include recording of evidence, hearing arguments, and following the eFiling Rules of the High Court of Delhi, 2021, as well as the High Court of Delhi Rules for Video Conferencing for Courts, 2021. Violators can now appear before the court through video conferencing, and if convicted, they can pay the fine online via the web portal https://pay.ecourts.gov.in. The plan is to establish one digital traffic court in each District Court of Delhi. To comply with the Supreme Court of India’s directive, a ‘Bail orders sharing module’ has also been conceived. The module was developed by the NIC-ICJS division in consultation with the High Court of Delhi, Delhi State Legal Services Authority, and Delhi Prison. This module will serve as a platform for the High Court and District Courts to digitally share bail orders, signed with authenticity, to inmates and undertrials in any prison across the country. Additionally, the e-Prison system will generate a list of cases where prisoners are not released despite being granted bail. This mechanism aims to safeguard the rights of prisoners and assist the Legal Services Authority in taking appropriate actions. The Delhi High Court has already been providing ICT facilities such as e-Filing, e-Inspection, e-RTI, etc. The introduction of the Digital Traffic Courts and the Bail Orders Sharing Module: e-Prison will further expand the digital ecosystem within the judiciary, enhancing access to justice for citizens at their doorstep.
