New Delhi: Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud on Monday announced that the first five courtrooms in the Supreme Court have become WiFi-enabled and all court rooms would be devoid of law books and papers. This is part of the digitization process of the apex court of the country.
The Supreme Court reopened on Monday after the six-week summer vacation.
“We have made courts 1 to 5 WiFi-enabled. The bar rooms are WiFi-enabled as well. All courtrooms will now be like that — no books and papers — which is not to say that we will not rely on books and papers at all,” the CJI said.
The Supreme Court has made the free WiFi facility available for all lawyers, litigants, and mediapersons, and others visiting the premises.
The user has to enter his mobile number, get a one-time password (OTP) and use it for authentication. Now this facility will be available at the Chief Justice’s Court, Court Nos. 2 to 5, including corridor and Plaza in front, both waiting areas in front of plaza canteen and Press Lounge-I and II.
