Supreme Court will go paperless within 6-7 months: CJI

Chief Justice J S Khehar today said that Supreme Court will go paperless within six to seven months. The observation on the issue of digitisation of the top court was made when senior advocate Indira Jaising, who had filed a PIL seeking uniform guidelines on designating lawyers as senior, sought expeditious disposal of her plea by a larger bench. <br/><br/>Justice Khehar said the court will soon dispense with the need of filing voluminous documents and paper books as it is in the process of digitising the entire court records across the country. <br/><br/>The bench comprising the CJI and Justices D Y Chandrachud and S K Kaul said, within six to seven months they will electronically pick it up trial court and high court records and there will be no need of case records being filed afresh in the apex court.
