The National Government Cloud is a specialized cloud service offered for government initiatives under the National Informatics Centre (NIC). This service enables organizations to select from multiple private and public cloud options via a single user portal. The National Government Cloud provides a variety of on-premise services such as Compute, Storage, Kubernetes, Database, and Networking within a secure data center managed by the NIC.
The Supreme Court Registry employs a cloud infrastructure as part of its efforts towards digitization and digital preservation, which includes the National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG), serving as a centralized repository for court records.
Additionally, eCourt services facilitate online access to case information and other resources. The Registry is also proactive in digitizing court records and orders, ensuring they are accessible through various online platforms.
The Digital Supreme Court Reports leverage technology to enhance the sharing of legal knowledge, providing judgments in both volume-based and HTML formats, thus ensuring ease of access, searchability, and unrestricted availability for all who are interested in the law.
