    Chief Justice R S Chauhan of the Uttarakhand High Court inaugurated its first e-Seva Kendra in the Court premises in Nainital on Thursday, in a bid to make justice more accessible to all.

    A brainchild of the Chief Justice, the initiative is a user interface to provide information to litigants. The e-Seva Kendra is the first service centre in the state that handles inquiries posed by the litigants.

    The service will dispense information such as updated status of cases, date of hearing, the court in which a hearing is to take place among other necessary details, Registrar General of the High Court Dhananjay Chaturvedi remarked during the inauguration.

    "People can also inquire about the listing of particular cases, the court which will hear the case and if the schedule of the judge is presiding over the matters. We will also help people download the High Court app so that digital services can be accessed by people."

    Under the e-Court project, assistance regarding the facilities available digitally, information about the leave of judges, District Legal Services Authority, State Legal Services Authorities, Supreme Court Legal Services Committee will also be provided, he said.

    The next e-service centre will be started in Almora and gradually such centres will also be established in all the district courts of the state.
