e-Justice
e-Justice (http://www.ejustice.org.in/home.do ), a
pilot initiative funded by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
is a citizen centric approach for providing access to justice through
Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It will help to provide
a crucial link between rule of law, poverty eradication, human rights
and sustainable human development and to provide better access to
justice.
The project aims at promoting legal awareness through an electronic
interface by presenting the key legislations in a simple manner and by
simplifying relevant judgments, certain procedural regulations and
enlightening on the existence of alternative remedies and making the
same available to the general public through information Kiosks etc
Services:
- The e-Justice project will enable access to legal information
provided in a simple manner, through Kiosks set up in select places in
the district of Mahabubnagar. The Pilot project is launched at
Shadnagar and will be followed by kiosks at Gadwal, Nagarkurnool and
Narayanpet. The public at large can approach them and obtain the
required information. The e-Justice website can also be accessed from
anywhere in Mahabubnagar district where Internet facility is available.
Being a pilot project, the website services have been limited to the
district of Mahabubnagar as on date.
- Special emphasis has been made to focus on problems faced by women,
children and other marginalized sections of the society. Accordingly,
land related laws, women related laws, labour laws and general laws
affecting the common man in his day to day life have been included.
More laws will be updated as the access to the kiosk increases.
- The information available to the citizens will make them aware of
the law involved in the issue, the process for solution and the various
modes of redressal available, whether through the courts or through
Alternate Dispute Resolution mechanisms such as Lok Adalats, assistance
of Legal Services Authorities, the Human Rights Commission or various
civil society organizations.
- The e-Justice portal will also facilitate the citizen to send
queries to the legal experts at CGG or file an online application to
the Legal Services Authority or the Revenue Courts wherever applicable
seeking its involvement in guiding him/her through the proper mode of
resolving the problem.
- Once the concerned authority considers the person eligible for its
services, then depending on the nature of the grievance, it will
propose the options available, i.e., whether the dispute is entitled to
be referred only to the Court System or to Lok Adalats. The concerned
Authority will direct the case to any of the advocates on its panel to
represent the citizen in the appropriate forum.
- A mechanism will be put in place to ensure that the advocate is
required to submit a report on proceedings of every hearing to the
concerned Authority who shall in turn forward the same report to the
web portal which can be accessed by the concerned citizen to know the
status of his case.
Services you can avail at the kiosk:
- Obtain the required legal information.
- Take a print out of the information if necessary.
- Send queries to legal experts at CGG, the Legal Services Authority
or any other authority.
- Send online application of your legal problem to the concerned
authority.
- Check the status of your case if the concerned authority has
accepted your application.
