Kerala’s Kollam gets India’s first digital court for cheque bounce cases

India’s first digital court for handling cheque bounce cases, called 24*7 ONCOURTS, was inaugurated on Friday in Kollam by Justice Bhushan Ramkrishna Gavai of the Supreme Court.

The initiative will ensure court processes are conducted online, right from the filing stage through case registration, admission, appearances, hearings, and passing of judgments and orders. Depending on its success, new ONCOURTS may be established across the state.
