DDA launches hi-tech tracking system
With about 16,000 of its cases pending in various courts
in the Capital and not being attended to properly, the Delhi
Development Authority on Tuesday unveiled a web-based software system
for monitoring the agency’s court cases.
The DDA said
the system was necessitated due to time constraints faced by its
officers leading to inadequate monitoring of cases as a result of which
the case proceedings suffered.
“This resulted in
courts granting repeated dates, in turn, resulting in delay for the
organisation and petitioners. It is expected that with the system in
place there will be proper monitoring and updating of the case status,”
the DDA statement said.
Inaugurating the system, the
DDA vice-chairman G. S. Patnaik said this was a move in the direction of
“complete computerisation” but warned that officials should ensure that
the updating of cases is done regularly. He said the software should
also be improved as per the feedback which will be received over a
period of time.
The vice-chairman also directed that
important or landmark judgements should be attached with cases so that
it provides good reference material for future cases.
The
software is operational in all the District Courts, High Court, Supreme
Court and Consumer Forums and on desktop computers at Vikas Sadan and
Vikas Minar in a web-enabled mode. DDA law officers are required to
update the status of the court cases and they can do so from anywhere
using user IDs and Passwords allotted to them. The system will also
generate weekly reports of the pendency of cases, weekly status of all
court cases where the date of hearing is due. Reminders and reports will
also be available in the system so that proper monitoring of the cases
can be done.
