SC gets an update: Wifi, virtual meetings, LED screens in courtrooms

The courtrooms of the Chief Justice of India and the two most senior judges in the Supreme Court of India have received modern-day updates as their chambers have done away with the large stockpiles of judgements since 1950 and replaced them with futuristic IT-enabled paraphernalia, The Times of India (ToI) has reported.

Citing a senior official from the apex court, the report said, “As the SC reopens on Monday after the summer vacation, courtrooms 1 to 3 will see futuristic features to bring a technologically advanced environment to the courtrooms.” As a part of the overhaul, inspired by the vision of CJI DY Chandrachud of using technology in the judicial systems, the courtrooms have been made energy-efficient, the official said.
