Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday highlighted that about five crore cases are pending in courts and said technology can play an important role in not only reducing pendency, but also making the process of delivery of justice easily accessible to people. He also highlighted that after the completion of the third phase of the e-Courts project, the time would not be far when all courts in the country will become totally paperless "It pains me to see about five crore cases still pending for their final disposal. We can use technology as a solution to reduce pendency of cases in our courts," the minister said at the release of the first edition of the Dogri version of the Constitution of India at the University of Jammu. Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court Chief Justice Kotishwar Singh, senior judges of the high court, Jammu University Vice Chancellor Umesh Rai, Law Secretary Achal Sethi and Jammu Deputy Commissioner Avny Lavasa were among those who attended the function.
