Durg District Court in Chhattisgarh held a workshop on Thursday to train judicial officers and prosecutors in using digital justice platforms like Mediation 3.0 and Nyaya Shruti. The session also covered the Interoperable Criminal Justice System (ICJS) and new criminal laws, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, both enacted in 2023. Organised under the guidance of Justice P.P. Sahu, the programme aimed to equip participants with skills to handle electronic evidence and streamline court processes through technology. The workshop was part of a state-level push outlined by Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha in Raipur.

The workshop in Durg is a welcome step, but the real test will be in implementation across India's overburdened courts. While digital platforms like Mediation 3.0 and Nyaya Shruti promise efficiency, infrastructure gaps and training remain huge hurdles. The narrative that technology alone can fix the justice system is exaggerated. What judges and prosecutors need are reliable electricity, internet bandwidth, and reduced case pendency. Will these tools actually reduce delays, or just add another layer? The number of cases resolved digitally in the next six months will show if this is real reform or just a photo-op.
