Kochi, October 13: Former president Dr A P J Abdul Kalam today said there was a need for adopting e-judiciary system in the country which will increase the efficiency of the various courts, ensure transparency and quicker disposal of cases.
Kalam was speaking at the special convocation function of the National University of Advanced Legal Studies (NUALS) where he conferred honorary degree of Doctor of Laws (LLD) on former supreme court judge V R Krishna Iyer.
The Supreme court should transform the present system into e-judiciary system, he said.
The proposed action for connecting all the 15,000 courts in the country from the district court to apex court through a wide area network will further enhance the efficiency of the judicial system, he said.
