ITAT to Set Up E-Courts
THE ITAT President has come up with a novel idea. He notes that there are 63 sanctioned Benches of the I.T.A.T. wherein the required strength of the Members is 126 and have 88 Members now and some of the Benches are not regularly functioning resulting in increase of pendency. Therefore, there is a need to utilize information technology for dispensation of justice in the I.T.A.T. by introducing E-Courts/E-Benches and it will make non-functioning Benches operational so that we fulfill the motto of the Tribunal SULABH NYAY AND SATVAR NYAY.
It is proposed to launch E-Bench system to dispose of the cases of Nagpur Bench at Mumbai and Allahabad Bench at New Delhi for two weeks from 14th May, 2012 to 25th May, 2012.
Will CESTAT follow?
