00:00 that watching one of these live hearings on YouTube
00:04 was better than watching a Netflix movie on occasion.
00:08 These initiatives are with a view
00:09 to making the courts accessible to the common person.
00:13 The democratization of access to knowledge
00:17 has helped break down monopolies
00:19 based on old feudal structures.
00:22 Our judgments are being translated
00:24 into every language which the Constitution recognizes.
00:28 Today, the Supreme Court of India
00:30 has onboarded all its data
00:33 on the national judicial data grid
00:35 in a new era of transparency and accountability.
00:39 The Supreme Court issues entry passes
00:42 through a virtual platform,
00:44 almost 700 of them which are issued every day
00:47 to people who visit our court.
00:50 We live stream hearings
00:51 of certain constitutionally significant cases,
00:55 and we release transcripts of oral arguments in those cases.
01:00 A friend once told me, a few days back in fact,
01:04 that watching one of these live hearings on YouTube
01:08 was better than watching a Netflix movie on occasion.
01:12 These initiatives are with a view
01:15 to making the courts accessible to the common person.
01:19 I dare say that some of our technology-based initiatives
01:23 have surpassed those of arbitrations.
01:26 I was intrigued by the CLOUT,
01:28 or the Case Law on Uncentral Texts,
01:31 an open access resource that contains decisions of courts
01:35 and arbitral awards relating to uncentral texts.
01:38 A summary of these cases is made available
01:41 on the searchable CLOUT database.
01:44 I'm sure some of you would have benefited
01:47 from the immense industry that has produced this resource.
01:50 Similar to the CLOUT resource,
01:53 the eSupreme Court resource, the eSupreme Court reports,
01:57 or the electronic version of the Supreme Court reporter,
02:01 provides free access in a searchable format
02:04 to about 34,000 judgments of the Supreme Court of India
02:08 since 1950, to lawyers as well as members of the public.
02:13 All judgments are uploaded on the platform
02:16 within 24 hours of pronouncement.
02:19 In the interest of uniformity and harmonizing the manner
02:22 in which the judiciary in India functions,
02:24 we recently introduced a uniform citation system,
02:28 or a neutral citation system,
02:30 which is now being followed across India.
02:33 Like CLOUT, these initiatives aim
02:36 to democratize access to information.
02:39 The democratization of access to knowledge
02:43 has helped break down monopolies
02:45 based on old feudal structures.
02:49 We are on the anvil of having a digital SCR
02:52 in the very near future.
02:54 The Supreme Court of India is launching
02:57 into AI-assisted learning very shortly.
03:01 Our judgments are being translated into every language
03:05 which the Constitution recognizes.
03:07 9,000 of our judgments have already been translated
03:10 into Hindi, and we are aiming to translate judgments
03:14 using machine learning tools in all our languages
03:17 to reach out to people.
