New Delhi, February 1

The Centre has allocated Rs 7,000 crore for the launch of Phase III of the e-court project that seeks to enhance access to justice by digitising the judicial system, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced on Wednesday.

In a series of tweets, Union Minister for Law and Justice Kiren Rijiju thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sitharaman and Chief Justice of India and Supreme Court e-Committee Chairman DY Chandrachud, saying it would improve justice delivery system and pave the way for a “paperless” digital environment.

Rijiju said the move would ensure “ease of justice” and further improve the justice delivery system that PM had always envisioned.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
