- The Kalpetta judicial district in Kerala’s Wayanad district has become the first district in the country.
- It is to function as a completely paperless court system, marking a major milestone in India’s judicial digitisation efforts.
- Under the new system, all courts in the district judiciary will operate entirely in digital mode, from the filing of cases to the delivery of final judgments.
- Every stage of the judicial process—including pre-trial proceedings, recording of evidence, interlocutory applications and final adjudication—will now be conducted electronically.
- The system also integrates Artificial Intelligence-based judicial assistance tools.
- The entire system has been developed in-house by the Kerala High Court.
- The CJI Surya Kant Mishra described the shift as a fundamental change in justice delivery, calling it “green jurisprudence”.
