Gearing up to meet the challenges posed by Covid-19 pandemic, the trial courts in Karnataka have successfully adopted technology to examine witnesses and dispose cases, both civil and criminal. The “Statement showing the District-wise information regarding Filing, No. of Witnesses examined and Disposal of cases in District Judiciary of Karnataka State from 12:10:2020 to 07:11:2020″” published on the official website of the Karnataka High Court gives district-wise information about Filing (both e-filing and physical), E-Recording and Physical Recording of witnesses, Virtual Hearing and Physical Hearing of cases. The information in tabular form is reproduced below.
Though physical examination of cases and physical hearing is considered as more effective, the situation has compelled both bar and bench to make use of technology to the best extent possible.
