The E-Courts project was started in 2007. As of 2019, 16,845 district and subordinate courts have been IT-enabled, making over 10 crore court cases available online.
The rural reach of the CSC's is extensive, envisaging a minimum of one CSC in each Gram Panchayat, thus enabling eCourts services to reach all corners of the country. The collaboration between Department of Justice and Common Service Centers would thus mean that litigants can access easily, and readily case status information available on eCourts database from any CSC.
