Bombay HC Introduces GIS-Based Choropleth Maps for Case Distribution Analysis

The Bombay High Court has introduced a novel tool for producing geographical information system (GIS) based Choropleth maps.

These maps utilize district or area-specific statistical case data and employ a color-coded visual representation. The data, extracted from the National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG), is utilized to illustrate the statistical dispersion of cases in a visually informative manner.

The High Court administration issued a circular on August 19th, asserting that these maps serve to facilitate data-centric policy determinations. A sample map, accompanied by the circular, exemplifies the district-wise backlog of cases at the conclusion of 2022.

It is to be noted that the innovative approach by the Bombay High Court through GIS-based Choropleth maps provides a visually intuitive means of understanding the distribution of cases, assisting the administration in making well-informed decisions rooted in data analysis.
