Haryana Advocate General's office fully digitalised

Through this platform, vetting, legal opinions, case-related correspondence, and litigation management between the Advocate Generals office and various government departments are now being carried out completely digitally. Chauhan said these innovations have established a completely digital legal ecosystem within the Advocate General office, enabling work to be carried out with greater speed, transparency, and accountability.

The Haryana Advocate General's office has been completely digitalised, ushering in a new era of digital legal administration, according to an official statement. On Thursday afternoon, Advocate General Pravindra Singh Chauhan launched the Pro Case Management System (PCMS), an advanced extension of the Litigation Management System, which is the Haryana government's integrated workflow-based system designed for departments, corporations, boards and other state bodies to monitor the status of cases related to them. Digital transformation of the Advocate General's office began around six months ago, when Chauhan appointed Senior Deputy Advocate General Arun Tewatia as the IT and IT Security nodal officer and chairman of the Computer Committee. Tewatia was entrusted with the responsibility of converting all manual operations of the office into digital processes. Thereafter, work began in mission mode, transforming the office's traditional functioning into a modern digital system, the statement said. Chauhan said this vision has now been fully accomplished. He explained that the backbone of this digital ecosystem is the Pro Case Management System. Through this platform, vetting, legal opinions, case-related correspondence, and litigation management between the Advocate General's office and various government departments are now being carried out completely digitally. All case-related documents -- including paper books, replies, written statements and previous court orders -- are now securely available in PDF format, nearly eliminating dependency on physical files. Tewatia said that through the e-Roster, law officers will receive immediate access to paper books, replies, and final court orders directly in their accounts. e-Judgement will enable instant access to court judgments and orders, while e-Vetting will make legal scrutiny and review processes faster and easier. Through e-Opinion, departments will receive legal advice more quickly. e-Pairvi will ensure greater transparency and accuracy in case presentations and summaries. A seven-layer QR code-based security-enabled visitor management system has been implemented through e-visitor pass. The e-organisational chart will provide digital information regarding all law officers and employees, while the e-Dashboard will display real-time information related to total cases pertaining to Haryana, including urgent, ordinary, contempt of court, and court-wise matters. Additionally, e-directory will serve as a digital platform containing contact details of nodal officers of all government departments. Chauhan said these innovations have established a completely digital legal ecosystem within the Advocate General office, enabling work to be carried out with greater speed, transparency, and accountability.
