Haryana's Advocate General's Office has become the first such office in the country to go fully digital, with all legal operations now conducted entirely through digital systems, the state government announced on Thursday, 7 May 2025, in Chandigarh. The milestone was marked by the official launch of the Pro-Case Management System — an advanced extension of the Litigation Management System — by Advocate General Pravindra Singh Chauhan.
What the Digital Shift Covers
The Pro-Case Management System now handles the full spectrum of legal operations within the office, including vetting, legal opinions, case-related correspondence, and litigation management between the Advocate General's office and government departments. All case documents — paper books, replies, written statements, and previous court orders — are now securely stored and accessible in Portable Document Format (PDF), nearly eliminating dependence on physical files.
According to officials, the platform has significantly accelerated workflows and minimised unnecessary delays in legal processes that previously relied on manual handling and physical file movement.
How the Transformation Was Executed

Tewatia was entrusted with the responsibility of converting all manual operations of the office into digital processes, with work carried out in what officials described as
Point of View
But the harder question is whether digitisation translates into faster justice delivery or merely faster file movement. The Pro-Case Management System streamlines internal workflows, yet court delays in India are rarely caused by file management alone — judicial capacity and pendency remain the deeper bottleneck. If other states follow Haryana's model, the real benchmark should be measurable reduction in litigation timelines, not just the elimination of paper files.
