With an aim to ensuring hassle- free transactions and preventing fraudulent practices, the Delhi government has introduced electronic-stamping facility in all the district courts in the city while doing away with stamp papers of all denominations.
‘Delhi has become the first state in the country to introduce e-court fee in all its district courts,’ Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said here today. The shifting to e-stamping had taken place in the Delhi High Court last year.
She said all the six district courts – Karkardooma, Dwarka, Tis Hazari, Patiala House, Rohini and Saket – have have migrated to the e-stamping facility. ‘The last court to implement the e-court fee system was the Kakardooma court where it was introduced last week,’ Dikshit said.
Describing it as a major step towards modernising the judicial system, Dikshit said, ‘The e-court fee system will go a long way in overcoming any possibility of stamp scam like the Telgi scam. ‘It is a unique system which enables the public and lawyers to get a court fee receipt of exact denomination, irrespective of the amount, thus, making the entire process of remitting court fee entirely paper-free,’ she said.
