2. eCourts Project

Context:

All High Court websites now have captchas accessible to physically disabled people.

Details:

• This is a special initiative of the e-Committee, Supreme Court of India, to make the Indian judicial system more accessible to the disabled.
• These captchas serve as entry points to access several essential facets of a court website, such as judgments/orders, cause-lists and checking the status of cases.
• The visual captchas are also accompanied by text/audio captchas making the website content accessible to the visually challenged.
• A judgement search portal has also been created by the e-Committee in collaboration with NIC.
  • The portal contains judgements and final orders passed by all High Courts.
  • The portal uses a free text search engine.
  • In addition, the portal provides the facility of using an audio captcha, along with a text captcha.
  • It also uses accessible combo boxes, making it easier for the visually disabled to navigate the website.
