Set up online RTI portal within 3 months, SC tells HCs
The Supreme Court has mandated that all high courts establish online portals for filing Right to Information applications within three months. This directive aims to significantly enhance public access to judicial information, ensuring the effective implementation of transparency laws by removing administrative barriers. By leveraging technical support from the National Informatics Centre, courts can streamline the process for citizens seeking data. This move addresses the delay in digitization across many jurisdictions, promoting a uniform standard where digital facilities facilitate the core objectives of open governance and citizen empowerment. This development is crucial for open data as it transforms static judicial records into accessible, actionable information. It underscores the importance of interoperable digital infrastructure in making government data truly public, thereby strengthening accountability and enabling society to engage more effectively with the legal system through standardized online platforms.
