On January 1, 2023, the Supreme Court will introduce a new “Advocate Appearance Portal,” making the manual filing of advocate appearance slips history.
The portal was established on the orders of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and has been referred to as “another move to make the registry running paperless.”The advocates-on-record may submit appearance slips using the site once it has been launched.
According to the press release, submitting appearance slips online would prevent two lakh sheets of paper from being used each year, making the new portal a greener choice.According to the press release, the gateway was created and designed to make it quick, accurate, and effective to record the presence of lawyers in the record of proceedings.
