Chandigarh, May 7 (IANS) Taking a major step towards administrative and legal reforms, Haryana’s Advocate General's Office has now become fully digitalised.
Under the leadership of Advocate General Pravindra Singh Chauhan, Haryana has become the first state where all legal operations in the office are being conducted entirely through digital systems.
This achievement is being regarded as a new benchmark not only for Haryana but for the entire country, the state government said.
The Advocate General on Thursday officially launched the Pro-Case Management System live, marking the beginning of a new era of digital legal administration.
The digital transformation journey began around six months ago when Advocate General Chauhan appointed Senior Deputy Advocate General Arun Tewatia as the Information Technology and Information Technology (Security Nodal Officer) and the computerisation chairman.
He was entrusted with the responsibility of converting all manual operations of the office into digital processes.
Thereafter, work was initiated in mission mode, transforming the traditional functioning of the office into a modern digital system.
The Advocate General said this vision has now been fully accomplished.
He explained that the backbone of this digital ecosystem is the Pro Case Management System, an advanced extension of the Litigation Management System.
Through this platform, vetting, legal opinions, case-related correspondence, and litigation management between the Advocate General’s office and government departments are now being carried out completely digitally.
This has significantly accelerated workflows and minimised unnecessary delays.
He said all case-related documents, including paper books, replies, written statements, and previous court orders, are now securely available in Portable Document Format.
This has nearly eliminated dependency on physical files while enhancing transparency, efficiency, and accessibility.
Senior Deputy Advocate General Tewatia said that through the electronic roster, law officers will receive immediate access to paper books, replies, and final court orders directly in their accounts.
Electronic judgment will enable instant access to court judgments and orders, and electronic vetting will make legal scrutiny and review processes faster and easier.
Through electronic opinion, departments will receive legal advice more quickly.
