Orissa High Court launches summons system for government officials
The Story in Brief
Orissa High Court Chief Justice Harish Tandon on Saturday (31 October) inaugurated a two-day District Judges’ Conference and launched an online Summons Management System (SMS) to speed up serving court summons on government officials. The system, initially a pilot in four districts, aims to end delays caused by untraceable official witnesses. Justice Sashikanta Mishra, chair of the HC’s IT and AI committee, detailed the platform.
The conference at the Odisha Judicial Academy in Cuttack brought together district judges and chief judicial magistrates from across the state. Sessions on Sunday (1 November) covered court operations, forensic report deadlines, recruitment, IT adoption and security. Chief Justice Tandon called for disposal of cases within stipulated time. The system is expected to cut interruptions and travel costs.
