Chief Justice Surya Kant announced, "This initiative is to strengthen this court’s case management system through a multi-level integration with the database of High Courts, District Courts, and the Government. First time it's happening that the entire data will be now integrated, and while sitting in Supreme Court, we'll have all complete details up to the District Court and Taluka Courts, and similarly, Taluka Courts will also have all the connectivity here..."

The new module automated the process of retrieving data from various court databases. It facilitated the swift online verification of case-related information, which increased the overall speed of legal proceedings. This reciprocal access ensured data integrity and enhanced transparency across the entire Indian judicial ecosystem.
