J&K&L High Court CJ Ali Mohammad Magrey Launches App To Enable E-Service Of Notice/ Summons In Srinagar

After assuming the office as the Chief Justice, Justice Ali Mohammad Magrey of the Jammu & Kashmir & Ladakh High Court today paid his maiden visit to District Court Complex Moominabad, Srinagar. On this occasion, the Chief Justice launched an application called National Services and Tracking of Electronic Processes (NSTEP) for Srinagar district, an initiative of e-Committee of the Supreme Court of India. The purpose of this initiative is effective service of summons and notices in both civil and criminal cases electronically, whereby the notice shall be generated in CIS system and such summons/notices shall be transmitted to process server on smartphone. The process server shall approach the concerned noticee, obtain his signature on the smartphone and take the snap of the noticee and forward the same to the concerned court which shall be treated as valid service of notice upon the noticee. The said application hence enables serving of Notice/ Summons in electronic form, posting and recordal of real time updates from remote locations, thus reducing inordinate delays in process service. This in turn will drastically reduce time required for serving inter-district or inter-state process by Post. The facility of transparent tracking of service of process and summons by all stakeholders GPS connectivity with Bhuvan Maps (India's geo-platform developed by ISRO) also gets ensured. The Chief Justice also inaugurated the office of Legal Aid Defence Counsel in ADR Centre, Srinagar and took part in plantation drive by planting a Chinar sapling in the court complex. Thereafter, the Chief Justice had a detailed interaction with the Bar members including its young members, gave a patient hearing to their suggestions and grievances and issued on spot directions for redressal of most of the issues . Responding to grievance of vacancies of Judges at District Headquarter, the Chief Justice assured that these vacancies will be filled up within week's time. CJ Magrey had a meeting with the officers of civil and police administration to take stock of all the pending issues mostly related to infrastructure. He issued on the spot directions to the Divisional Commissioner and district administration to expedite the acquisition of land outside the main entry of court complex. He also passed on spot directions to Floriculture Department to judiciously utilize funds already released for development of landscape and parks in the court complex. Chief Justice Magrey had also an interaction with the Judicial Officers of Srinagar district. He impressed upon the Judicial Officers to dispose of the old cases on priority basis and make the forthcoming Special Lok Adalat schedule on 21.10.2022 a grand success.
