The Madras High Court, who observed that the police department was lagging behind, that Madras High Court be ordered to ensure that the entire criminal proceedings, right from the complaint phase until the judgment were delivered, was digitized and updated online in real time.
Ad Jagadish Chandira justice took a serious remark about the long delay in implementing crime and criminal monitoring of the network and systems (CCTN) 2.0 of the State Police project and ordered to be introduced within four months, which failed that the ministry must come up with a valid justification.
The judge pointed out that the Electronic Corps of the Supreme Court initiated the platform for interoperative criminal judiciary (ICJS) at the national level, which connects the CCTNS portal used by the state police system (CIS) by the court used by the court and e-mail, e-Prosidecké and e-projejevoí portals.
The aim of the ICJ was to ensure that the highest courts and test courts easily proceed to the first information reports (companies), diaries of cases, indictments and such other documents recorded in PDF format. The National Office for Crime Records was asked to cooperate with the National Information Center to implement ICJ.
Although the system that was conceived by the Supreme Court and established by the Ministry of the Interior of the Union was used in several countries across the country, it was to be introduced in Tamil Nadu still introduced due to incompatibility of the existing CCTNS Police Department with the ICJS national platform.
After it has been said that compatibility problems can be solved after the implementation of CTNS 2.0, which has been in the pipeline for several years, the judge has ordered the new software to be stored within four months so that the problems that citizens face are largely reduced.
He pointed out that the courts were flooded with petitions that were looking for instructions for the police to register FIRS or the accusations. Even after the courts have issued such instructions, the police do not fulfill orders in a fixed time frame, forcing litigation to submit to contempt for court proposals.
In response, the police always seek an apology for non -compliance with court orders by quoting frequent transfer of investigating officers. In some cases, although the police give indictments in time, the information is not updated on the website of the police department, maintaining the courts in the dark.
Chandira’s justice said that the lack of tendency to maintain technology with technology cannot be condemned in the digital era of artificial intelligence, and said it is high time for the Tamil Police Department to take advantage of maximum benefits for the collective advantage of the criminal judiciary.
The orders were submitted by contempt for a court petition filed by the complainant against the Greater Chennai City police staff for taking two years to take effective steps in the case of cheating. The judge ordered the High Court register to re -indicate the action after four months to find out the status of CTNS 2.0.
