Problem Statement

Composite database for cases filed at all levels of judiciary and tribunals

The same cases are frequently brought before different courts. The following criteria should be used to create software or an algorithm that can recognise the same case filed in many courts:
Attach the perpetrators’ Aadhar cards;
Control of the police;Name, title, and other details of the case’s supervisor This will streamline these several cases into one and save the court valuable time, improving the court’s effectiveness.

The National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG), an online platform developed as part of the eCourts Project, is a database of orders, judgements, and case information from 18,735 computerised District & Subordinate Courts. The Taluka and District courts that are connected update data almost instantly.It offers details on all of the nation’s computerised district and subordinate courts’ judicial procedures and decisions.

Background of the Problem

Many times the same cases are filed in multiple courts. A software/algorithm should be developed which can identify same case filed in different courts based on the following parameters: 

  • Attach Aadhar card of the perpetrators
  • Jurisdiction of the police 
  • Name and identification of the incharge of the case 
  • and so on This will help combine these multiple cases into one and save precious time of the court resulting into the efficiency of the court

Objective

National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG) is a database of orders, judgments and case details of 18,735 computerised District & Subordinate Courts created as 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 information relating to judicial proceedings/decisions of all computerized district and subordinate courts of the country.

Summary

NJDG works as a monitoring tool to identify, manage & reduce pendency of cases. It helps to provide timely inputs for making policy decisions to reduce delays in disposing of cases and helps in reducing case pendency. It also facilitates better monitoring of court
performance and systemic bottlenecks, and, thus, serves as an efficient resource management tool.
