The Madhya Pradesh High Court criticised its IT wing for a non‑functional website and mandated an audit by leading IT firms TCS, Infosys and L&T.
The bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court expressed strong displeasure with its own IT division after the court's official website repeatedly failed to function. The judge’s remarks highlighted the inconvenience caused to litigants, lawyers and the public who rely on the portal for case information and filings.
In response, the court issued a directive for an independent technical audit of the website. Three of India’s largest technology service providers—Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys and Larsen & Toubro (L&T)—have been tasked to examine the system, identify shortcomings and recommend corrective measures.
The order aims to restore the website’s reliability, improve user experience and ensure that the digital infrastructure of the judiciary meets contemporary security and performance standards. The High Court will review the audit findings before deciding on further actions.
No timeline for the audit’s completion was disclosed, but the court emphasized that swift remediation is essential to uphold public confidence in the judicial system.
