The computerization in Gujarat high court / district courts started in year 1995-96 and has helped administration of the courts in streamlining their day-to-day activity. Today, over 90% of the activities and services of the courts are facilitated through information technology.

The system extends to 53 district court complexes and 113 taluka court complexes. It is supported by video conferencing between high court and subordinate courts.

The data retrieval had been made easier by standardized coding of cases numbers, advocates, acts, sections of the acts etc. Usage of unique advocate code checks the legitimacy of practicing advocate. Unique codes for acts, sub-section facilitate grouping and bunching of cases for speedier disposal.

Inquiry counters have been set up in each court to provide information on the case status and copy of judgments/ orders can also obtained at a nominal fee. The case status can also be obtained through SMS and IVR system. A litigant can dial IVR Nos.  (079) 27664463, 27664465, 27664468 and 27664473 can be dialed for knowing case status through telephone. He can also know the status by sending an SMS to 56767
