Revenue Department to Install E‑Court Kiosks in 200 Karnataka Gram Panchayats
The Karnataka Revenue Department announced plans to set up high‑tech digital court kiosks in 200 rural gram panchayats, enabling residents to resolve minor disputes locally.
The Karnataka Revenue Department has unveiled a plan to establish e‑court kiosks across 200 gram panchayats in the state. The initiative aims to provide rural residents with a local, legally recognised platform to settle minor disputes without travelling to distant courts.
Each kiosk will function as a high‑tech digital courtroom, equipped to handle small‑scale civil and revenue matters. By integrating the e‑court system at the village level, the department seeks to streamline case processing and reduce the backlog in higher courts.
Officials expect the kiosks to empower villagers by offering quicker, cost‑effective dispute resolution and to promote legal awareness in rural communities. The rollout is part of a broader effort to modernise the state's judicial infrastructure and improve access to justice for all citizens.
Implementation will commence shortly, with the department overseeing installation, training of local staff, and ongoing technical support to ensure smooth operation of the digital courts.
