Union minister for law Salman Khurshid said on Sunday that all courts in the country will get computerised in the next three years as part of steps taken to improve justice delivery system in India.
"Computerisation is a major priority. In the next three years, all courts in the country will get computerised," Khurshid said while addressing the valedictory function of the bicetenary celebrations of the district court and bar association of Thiruvananthapuram here today.
"We have a commitment that we will make a very significant difference to the justice delivery in the next three years. We have a justice delivery mission which is working closely with the chief justice of India and chief justices of high courts of the country. We also have a special mission for clearing pendency," he said.
According to Khurshid, steps like the All India Judicial Service will serve as an incentive for capable youngsters to join judicial services and will help check the flow of bright law graduates to the corporate sector.
"I think we will come closer to people in terms of being able to deliver justice. It is very important for litigants to understand what the judge has finally pronounced," the minister said.
Sashi Tharoor, MP urged the Centre to take immediate steps to set up a High Court bench in the Kerala capital, a long pending demand of legal fraternity here.
He said Kerala was one of the three Indian states which did not have the high court bench in the capital.
According to Kerala high court acting chief justice Manjula Chellur, it was important that the prime concern of judicial system should be quick delivery of justice to people.
