Acting Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court Justice Manmohan on Friday said technology has to be harnessed to improve the legal system.
He was speaking at the inauguration of a ‘pilot hybrid court with a speech-to-text facility for evidence recording’ and the launch of a ‘digital court application for judicial officers to access all e-filed cases’ in the Tis Hazari district court.
“We have to use and harness technology to improve the legal system to ensure that the people who are accused of crimes are brought to book and the delays have to be cut short… the only way to ensure that the system works properly is to ensure that good technology is brought into the system,” Justice Manmohan said.
He said that the speech-to-text facility for evidence recording was a “very powerful tool”, having the potential of becoming a “game-changer”.
