The Supreme Court on September 14 onboarded its case data on the National Judicial Data Grid.
- The NJDG portal is a national repository of data relating to cases instituted, pending and disposed of by the courts across the country.
- NJDG is a database of orders, judgments and case details of 18,735 District and subordinate Courts and High Courts created as an online platform under the eCourts Project.
- Its key feature is that the data is updated in real-time and has granular data up to the Taluka level.
- The NJDG was built as part of Phase II of the e-Courts project, which is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme.
- With over 18,735 courts computerised across the country, the data is integrated with the NJDG.
- Currently, litigants can access case status information of 23.81 crore cases and more than 23.02 crore orders/judgments.
- NJDG works as a monitoring tool to identify, manage & reduce pendency of cases. Take, for instance, the Supreme Court data.
