The Chennai High Court had called for tenders from reputed companies as it has decided to digitize around 20 crore pages of case bundles as well as administrative files and store them digitally for easy access.
An official at the High Court Bench here said the court had called for tenders from reputed companies, with an annual turnover of over Rs. 100 crore, for awarding the contract and getting the work done by the end of next year.
The official pointed out that some judges of the High Court were allergic to dust and hence they avoided hearing old cases.
The official said: This will change if all old court records are available electronically and accessed at the click of a button.
