To provide seamless internet connectivity for smooth implementation of N-STEP at District Courts and Tehsil Court, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has purchased 1111 Motorola smartphones and the distribution of the same has been made to bailiffs/process servers posted at District Courts.

He complimented the three initiatives of the Madhya Pradesh High Court and stated that it goes a long way in making life easier for lawyers while bringing technology to the doorsteps of citizens. 

“Wi-Fi-enabled court is the most significant symbol that we have come in the age of ICT enabled governance.”, he added.

Further, he also observed that the integration of case information systems with the land records is of utmost significance. 

“The opacity of the land record is the major factor which particularly obstructed the work of district judiciary. This integration will make sure that delay does not defeat the justice,’ he said.
