Telangana Justice System Urged to Deepen Digital Coordination
A conference in Telangana discussed how new criminal laws should work with digital technology.
The Chief Justice said courts, police, prosecutors, prisons and forensic teams must work closely together.
A criminal case passes through many stages, so every group needs to do its part correctly.
Officials said digital records and evidence can make the justice system faster and clearer.
They also warned that wrong data, repeated entries and missing information can create delays.
The technology should make work easier instead of adding more work.
The conference included about 1,200 officials and judicial officers.
Participants discussed online records, electronic summons, video evidence and forensic systems.
The police also suggested regular meetings to check how the new laws are being implemented.
Telangana High Court Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh called for sustained coordination among justice-system institutions to implement BNS, BNSS and BSA digitally.
The conference brought together about 1,200 judicial, police, prosecution, prison, forensic and health officials in hybrid mode.
Speakers said technology should simplify workflows, while inaccurate coding, duplicate data entry and incomplete information can cause delays.
DGP C.V. Anand described the new laws as a shift toward citizen-centric justice, scientific investigation, digital evidence and time-bound procedures.
The DGP asked the judiciary to consider a monthly review mechanism chaired by a Telangana High Court judge.
