Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Chief Justice of India Justice Surya Kant will inaugurate the Jharkhand high court's new Rs 35-crore data centre on Monday, 2 November 2026, along with launching the court's new website, an iOS app, and an online certified-copies portal. Justice Ananda Sen said the facility is the first of its kind in the state and will support centralised storage, backup systems, and digital services under the e-Courts Mission Mode project. The data centre is designed to improve system reliability and provide secure access for judges, advocates, and litigants. Justice Sen added that a personalised cause list will let lawyers and litigants track their cases on their phones. A senior judicial officer said the CJI will also distribute speech-to-text and AI software to judicial officers across the state.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both sources report the same event in near-identical wire-copy style, leading with the Rs 35-crore data centre inauguration by the CJI. Times of India and Urban Acres both attribute the technical details to Justice Sen and Bar Council member Nilesh Agarwal without any variation in framing or emphasis. Neither source carries any stance: straight factual reporting dominates, with identical quotes and figures. The coverage is uniform, the only difference is a marginally longer description of infrastructure benefits in Urban Acres. No editorial slant or omission is discernible. The concrete next step is Monday's inauguration.
