Senior advocate Harish Salve offers Reliance Jio’s fibre prowess for a nation-wide network

NEW DELHI: Senior advocate Harish Salve offered Reliance Jio’s expertise and fibre optics network to the Supreme Court on Monday as Chief Justice of India SA Bobde called for a dedicated nation-wide fibre optics network to ensure seamless connectivity in virtual courts throughout the country.

Before the government could offer any solution, Jio, through senior advocate Harish N Salve, offered Jio’s fibre optics network and expertise to the court. “We have the best fibre optics network,” he said. The CJI-led bench would only direct him to approach the court’s e-committee formally. The e-committee is headed by Justice DY Chandrachud.
