Rubt Mhc Advt: The Online Judicial System is all a farce. A fancy characterized by broad satire and improbable situations. Online Lawyerless Courts could provide disadvantages in numerous ways in accessing for a complete justice.
The existing justice system is with all perfection for proper administration of justice. The propagandist of online legal system failed to understand that system is contrary to conscience, morality and law and it will not meet the ends of justice. The existing legal proceedings do make all legal services available in and accessible in accordance with law to everyone. In any event online system will not serve the judicial system for any extraordinary delivery of justice to people.
The online judicial system will collapse the judiciary. It will not reduce the back log of cases but it will only increase the volume of filing of cases since internet access is easily available for everyone including people living in remote places.
The Online system will become an electronic post office for people with lack better sense of law or better common sense of knowledge and would virtually convert the Courts to Police Stations with all sorts of complaints and petitions and demand for immediate justice and judiciary will be subjected to criticism and people will think it is meant forly for the rich but not for the poor.
The danger of hacking anything by third parties will surface alteration of evidence can be made since the witness will not be in a position to know whether what he had deposed had been recorded in the same manner or not and the concern that without face-to face communication the Judge will not be able to evaluate the witness testimony and indication of reliability. The worst sufferers of online judicial system will be Trial Court its Lawyers and litigants especially the Criminal Trials. It is impossible to carry out a Criminal Trial and the propagandist is unaware of it. If they are more concerned to have online judicial functioning then there is no need for them to have video conferencing since the case papers that are sent by them via online are sufficient enough for the Judges to read understand and pass order. Video Conferencing is waste of time and there are every possibility server and power supply failures poor quality of visuals and audio could irritate the Bench and Bar. If the Bench wants to cut short the Bar it could easily adopt the escapism under server or power failure to take up the next case.
The online system will divide the Lawyers community in to two groups. The have and have not of the infrastructure technology and knowledge involved within the system and of course from the socio-economic point of view also and further more there will be large scale of exploitation in the profession of law leading to violation of the fundamental rights.
Though I have the facility for online system and could handle it still I am not for it as it is not the way for the system of administration of justice. I am not for division among the Lawyer community on socio-economic grounds as one group of Lawyers with infrastructure and technology knowledge exploiting the others. I am not for such thing to happen. Every Lawyer has the right to practice and the fundamental right should not be violated.
The existing system should not be disturbed or replaced by anything however it is innovative or creative and where such things are to applied has to be applied but not in Bench and Bar Administration of Justice.
