The Chief Justice of the Meghalaya High Court, Justice Sanjib Banerjee, today launched the Meghalaya E-Court Fee System, which is aimed at easing the process of accessing justice.
Also present on the occasion were Law Minister James PK Sangma, Justice HS Thangkhiew and Justice Wanlura Diengdoh.
Justice Banerjee urged for the cooperation of the Bar Association as they will be the real users of the system on a daily basis. He hoped that the members of the Bar would acquaint themselves with the new system and use it accordingly.
He expressed his gratitude to the government for its continuous support and also to the Stock Holding Corporation of India for its participation in the process of digitization in the state.
Sangma highlighted the salient features of the E-Court Fee System, and also dwelt at length about the benefits of using the digital method instead of a physical one.
Meghalaya is the 17th state in the country to implement this system. E-Court Fee is a web-based system of paying court fees with the facility of verification, reconciliation, locking and cancellation.
The E-Court Fee will benefit the general public by providing easy accessibility, faster processing, online verification of genuineness of E-Court fee paid, single court fee receipt of exact denomination irrespective of the amount and convenience of online payment of E-Court fee from home or office.
