The Madras High Court has directed Tamil Nadu Police Department to Implement Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS) 2.0 within the four months.
The Supreme Court’s e-committee had initiated a national-level Inter-operable Criminal Justice System (ICJS) platform.
It interconnects the CCTNS portal used by State police departments, the Case Information System (CIS) portal used by courts, and the e-prison, e-forensic and e-prosecution portals.
The aim of ICJS was to ensure that the High Courts as well as trial courts could easily access the First Information Reports (FIRs), case diaries, chargesheets, and such other documents uploaded in PDF format.
The National Crime Records Bureau had been asked to work along with National Informatics Centre to implement ICJS.
