Sikkim High Court mandates digital processing of files

Gangtok, Oct 27 (PTI): The High Court of Sikkim has directed its Registry to process all official communications, file movements and approvals exclusively through the designated digital office portal, reinforcing the push towards a paperless judicial administration.
In a circular issued on October 26, the High Court directed that all official communications, note-sheets, drafting, file movement and approvals within the Registry be processed through the portal. The directive aims to ensure an efficient, streamlined and environmentally friendly workflow, while facilitating the transition from conventional paper-based procedures to digital processing. The circular, issued by the Registrar General, provides for the continued processing of physical files already in transit, wherever necessary, to ensure the smooth functioning of the Registry. However, all new files must be opened and processed strictly through the digital office portal.
“All concerned are accordingly directed to ensure strict compliance with the above instructions to facilitate a smooth and seamless transition towards paperless office,” the circular states.
