CJI Surya Kant Lays Foundation Stones for Seven Projects at Patna High Court

The launch underscores a push toward digital courts to improve capacity, efficiency and access to justice.

Overview

  • The package comprises an ADR centre with auditorium, an IT building, a modern administrative block, multi-level parking, a hospital, residential quarters for ministerial staff, and an annexe for the Advocate General’s office.
  • Surya Kant framed the initiative as capacity building to meet growing caseloads and increasingly complex disputes.
  • He said the IT facility will move the courts from paper-heavy processes to data-informed, digitally enabled, user-centric operations.
  • The ADR complex is intended to expedite dispute resolution and serve as a venue for training and Bar–Bench dialogue.
  • During the ceremony, the CJI also launched e-ACR Nyaya to digitise the filing and processing of annual confidential reports.
