History was recently created in the field of judiciary when , for the first time in the country, the Patna Civil Court and Beur Central Jail in Bihar were connected through NIC’s Video conferencing to ensure an interface between the magistrates and the under trials. This effort turned out to be quite successful, when within three days, 39 prisoners were released after recording their statements without having to physically appear in the court. NIC implemented this system in consultation with Hon’ble Chief Justice of Patna High Court. Sh. Ravi S Dhavan
