The Supreme Court of India. | Sajjad Hussain/AFP The Supreme Court e-committee last week issued a draft Digital Courts Vision and Roadmap, drawn up by a sub-committee of experts consisting of Agami, Daksh and the Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy. The three NGOs are funded by a mix of Indian philanthropists ranging from the Nilekani Philanthropies to Tata Trusts to Tree of Life Foundation, amongst others. The vision document in question is meant to deal with Phase III of the e-courts project, which is administered by the Supreme Court’s e-committee and funded largely by Parliament. Since its conception in 2004, the Supreme Court’s e-committee has overseen the expenditure of approximately Rs 1,300 crores of public money on the e-courts project with little to no oversight. In the last 17 years, there has been only one external evaluation of the entire project commissioned by the government – and even that was a hurried job.
