President urges judiciary to bring dynamism in case management

President M Abdul Hamid on Saturday urged all concerned in the judiciary to bring dynamism in case management by using all facilities of the information technology (IT), as he virtually addressed “Bangladesh Supreme Court Day-2021” discussion here.

“Carry out court proceedings digitally in all courts countrywide . . . It will bring revolutionary changes in the judiciary,” the President said in the function on the Supreme Court premises, joining virtually from the Bangabhaban this evening.

Referring to the digital processing in court’ activities, he said, “Since the Supreme Court is a Court of Record, it is necessary to take initiatives to convert all its documents into digital documents and also to make arrangements to digitally preserve all its documents and all other activities from the filing of cases to the pronouncement of verdicts,” he added.

He said online cause list has already been introduced in the Supreme Court and the online bell confirmation system is also working effectively.

Terming the judicial process as a very tough one, the President urged the judges to work hard more to reduce the number of pending cases which are the causes of the untold sufferings to the litigants.

He also called upon the judges to take care of the litigants’ rights so that they do not have to roam in the court’s corridor day after day to get a copy of the judgement after the verdict of the case.BSS.
