NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India (CJI) D.Y. Chandrachud announced on Thursday that case details of the Supreme Court will be made available on the National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG) on a daily, real-time basis.
"At the click of a button, you can access statistical information relating to the institution, disposal, and pendency of cases," he said.
CJI Chandrachud said that onboarding on the NJDG portal is under the top court's open data policy to bring transparency and accountability in the judicial domain.
In July, during vacation, the disposal was 5,500 as opposed to 3,315, he said, adding that there were less than 100 cases pending before 2000.
Under the new initiative, Supreme Court case data for both civil and criminal cases may be analysed based on the age of the case to generate case management reports.
NJDG is an online platform under the eCourts Project that already has a database of orders, judgements, and case details from District and Subordinate Courts and High Courts. (IANS)
