The Supreme Court on Monday asked all state information commissions to provide litigants the option of the hybrid mode of hearing.
A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud directed SICs across the country to ensure that e-filing of complaints and appeals is provided to all litigants.
The bench comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra stated, “All state information commission must provide an option for availing of the hybrid mode of hearing.”
Observing that technology will help amplify access to justice, the bench stated, “That apart, we also direct that all state information commissions must ensure that e-filing of complaints and appeals is provided in a streamlined manner to every litigant.”
The top court passed the order while hearing a plea seeking directions for better functioning of SICs.
The petition stated SICs should hear complaints and appeals by giving an option of both physical and virtual hearing through digital platforms.
