In today's world of advancing technology, maximum fields, from a local level to national level are tying to adopt paper to
paperless approach, then why not judiciay? Indian Judiday is a guardian of the Constitution and also a protector of
individuals' fundamental rights. To provide fair and impartial justice to its people, the judiciay has to adapt to technological
changes. With the rise of the coronavirus pandemic, the Supreme Court passed directions to all courts in the county to make
extensive use of video conferencing for judidcial proceedngs. The virtual court is a notion that eliminates the presence of litigants
or lawyers in the court and provides a platform for adjudication of cases online. The E -courts Mission Mode Project was
conceptualized with a vision to transform the Indian Judiciary with the use of technology mainy artificial intelligence. For this,
there is a need to be set up electronic infrastructure and other prerequisites. Changing times call for some more reforms in the
judiciary. These changes must be brought on an urgent basis as justice delayed is justice compromised.
Keywords: digital technology, virtual hearing e-courts, judiciay, fundamental rights.
