The CJI stated, “A small announcement. It is a historic day. It is a unique and informative platform which is developed by the NIC and in house team of Supreme Court. Now at the click of a button you can see real time information on pendency and disposal of cases, year-wise, total pendency of registered and unregistered cases, number of cases decided quorum- wise.”

Furthermore, the CJI stated that uploading of data on the NJDG will ensure transparency and accountability in the judicial domain.

The NJDG is a database of orders, judgments and case details of 18,735 district and subordinate courts and high courts created an online platform under the eCourts Project. Data is updated on a near real-time basis by the connected district and taluka courts.

It provides the data relating to the judicial proceedings and decisions of all computerized district and subordinate courts of the country. All high courts have also joined the NJDG through web services, providing easy access facility to the litigant public.
