Jaipur: Residents of remote villages across the state of Rajasthan will now have easier access to multiple court related services as the Rajasthan High Court on Saturday unveiled three E-Seva mobile vans.
The three mobile vans were flagged off by Rajasthan High Court Chief Justice Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal.
This move aims to enable easy access to the courts for people residing in the villages through technology.
Using the mobile vans, villagers will be able to attend court sessions through video conferencing, track the progress of their cases, get information about the court and receive free legal aid.
What services do the E-Seva mobile vans offer?
The three mobile vans are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to enable the delivery of a range of court related services to people residing in remote areas.
By using the mobile vans, villagers will be able to:
- Attend court sessions via video conferencing
- Track updates on any pending cases
- Get the information they need about their case
- Receive information about the court services available
- Receive help with free legal aid
- Attend court sessions via video conferencing
This will provide great benefits for those who may struggle to travel long distances to ask for legal queries.
Supreme Court E-Committee and Department of Justice
“Under the initiative of the Supreme Court’s E-Committee and Department of Justice (under the Ministry of Law and Justice), three E-Seva mobile vans have been provided,” said Hari Om Sharma Attri, Member Secretary, Rajasthan State Legal Services Authority.
The mobile vans will be run by Rajasthan High Court and RSLSA.
Legal Awareness
Aside from offering court related services, the mobile vans will also be used to run legal awareness sessions throughout villages and community hubs such as chaupals.
This will help educate the public about their legal rights, free legal aid, government supported court schemes and services offered by the Legal Services Authority.
There will be a particular focus on economically weaker sections of society who may struggle to receive legal aid.
Officials from the Rajasthan High Court Jaipur Bench and RSLSA attended the launch.
All three mobile vans were flagged off by Chief Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal.
“We should not let any individual’s location, financial status or lack of resources stop them gaining access to justice,” said Hari Om Sharma Attri.
“We have started working on ensuring the services offered by the High Court and Legal Services Authority are being taken to the most remote villages across Rajasthan. This means that technology will be used effectively to increase access to justice for the everyday citizen.”
