Under the e-Court Mission Mode Project, a workshop on “E‑Filing 3.0: From Process to Practice” was organized.

The primary objective of the E‑Court Mission Mode project run by the Government of India is to make judicial processes faster, transparent, and accessible. In this direction, a new initiative called “E‑filing 3.0: From Process to Practice” has been introduced to convert paper documents in courts into electronic form. Under this initiative, the filing system is being developed not just as a technical platform but as an integrated practical model that incorporates user experience, data security, workflow optimization, and judicial procedures. In this context, a workshop was organized bringing together judicial officers, lawyers, software developers, and policymakers, where detailed discussions were held on the new system’s operations, user interface, and data‑privacy standards.

Key points presented at the workshop included the cloud‑based migration of the e‑filing portal, a mobile‑friendly interface, automated case tracking, and AI‑assisted document classification. Additionally, training modules for judicial staff, a certification program for lawyers in collaboration with the Bar Association, and plans to establish basic infrastructure in courts of smaller towns were discussed. Participants noted that the new system is expected to save time in case management, reduce filing errors, and improve communication between parties.

At the conclusion of the workshop, senior officials of the E‑Court Mission Mode announced that “E‑filing 3.0” will be rolled out nationally in the next phase, ensuring a uniform digital experience across all levels of courts. They also assured that continuous monitoring, feedback loops, and updated security protocols will be implemented to overcome technical challenges, so that the digital transformation of the judicial system remains sustainable and reliable.
