The national litigation policy of India is not technology-driven and it does not encourage use of online dispute resolution (ODR) in India and E-courts In India. India has announced initiatives like Digital India and Internet of Things (IoT) policy that are technology dependent.

ODR is a branch of dispute resolution which uses information and communication technology (ICT) to facilitate the resolution of disputes between parties to the dispute. The online dispute resolution mechanism (ODRM) is gaining popularity among all the countries of the World, including India. There are, however, certain prerequisites that must be satisfied before ODRM can be effectively established and used in India.

The problem is there are very few ODR institutions in India. Even lesser are ODR experts who can resolve technical, legal and other scientific disputes in an online environment. Even the national litigation policy of India (NLPI) has failed to address this issue. The legal enablement of ICT systems in India has failed so far.

E-judiciary in India has also not been established by Indian government till now. The key advantages of establishment of electronic courts in India are achievement of transparency and efficiency, reduction in corruption and backlog of cases, speedier justice delivery, cost and time saving, witness protection, etc.

Both the Congress and BJP government have failed in the past to modify the NLPI keeping in mind the technology developments and its possible uses. Now the BJP government is planning to amend the arbitration law of India and this may be the beginning of use of ODR in India as well.

As with the Shortcomings section:

The increasing backlog of cases is posing a big threat to Indian judicial system. The same was even more in the early 1990s but due to the computerisation process in the Supreme Court and other courts that was reduced to a great extent. However, mere computerisation of courts would not help India anymore and there is a dire need of bringing judicial reforms in India by using the technology in proper manner. India needs to ensure e-delivery of justice so that pendency of cases is reduced.

The centre and the states together account for 70% of the 3 crore cases pending in various courts in India, making government the largest litigant in India. To overcome this problem, centre introduced the national litigation policy of India (NLPI) in 2010. However, it was not implemented in India till October 2014.

National Litigation Policy is formulated by the Ministry of Law and Justice of the Government of India to bring down the litigation from government agencies by making them more responsible in filing cases. Some legal experts believe that use of online dispute resolution and e-courts is crucial for the success of NLPI and for effective dispute resolution and adjudicating of cases in India. The NLPI has not addressed ODR and e-courts related issues. Now Indian government is contemplating amending the national litigation policy and making it contemporary and more effective.
