Digital Courts

India's courts are going digital faster than ever. This article breaks down what Digital Courts 2.1 actually means for lawyers, litigants, and the justice system, covering AI transcription, multilingual translation, e-filing, e-evidence, and how daily legal workflows are already changing on the ground.

The Supreme Court is set to deploy an AI case pendency tracking platform to monitor delays across courts nationwide, enable digital court processes, and improve transparency and efficiency in judicial administration.

AI use in Indian courts remains limited to pilot projects, the government informed Parliament, even as eCourts Phase-III expands funding for digital tools such as speech-to-text and legal research AI.
