Electronic Justice Committee
Full Form of EJC
What is EJC?
The Electronic Justice Committee (EJC) is a panel within the Indian judiciary responsible for overseeing the digitisation and modernisation of court processes under the e-Courts Project. Established by the Supreme Court of India, the EJC formulates policies for implementing ICT solutions in courts across the country, including video conferencing, e-filing, and case management software. Its primary goal is to reduce case pendency, improve transparency, and make justice accessible to citizens in remote areas. The committee comprises senior judges, IT experts, and government officials, and it issues guidelines for secure digital evidence handling and virtual hearings. In India, the EJC is crucial for the National e-Governance Plan in the judiciary, especially after the pandemic accelerated online court proceedings. Law students and judicial aspirants must understand the EJC's role as it features in questions about Indian judiciary reforms and e-governance in competitive exams like CLAT and UPSC Law.
