Gujarat Courts Produce Over 53,000 Prisoners via Video Link
Imagine if you were a prisoner, instead of having to go to court in person, you could attend the hearing from jail using a video call.
That is what's happening in Gujarat!
Between January and June this year, over 53,000 prisoners used this system.
This is more than the previous year.
The Gujarat High Court set up many video call systems to make this possible.
It helps save time and money for the police.
This also helps speed up court cases, making justice happen faster.
Over 53,000 Gujarat prisoners appeared in court via video link between January and June this year.
This marks an increase from 40,633 during the same period in 2024.
The Gujarat High Court installed 1,100 video conferencing units in 2022.
The system's implementation saves manpower, time, and resources for police.
The system is aimed at accelerating judicial processes.
