Haryana Advocate General's Office goes fully digital

Haryana becomes first state to fully digitalise its Advocate General's office, launching Pro-Case Management System for faster, transparent legal operations.

"This achievement is being regarded as a new benchmark not only for Haryana but for the entire country - Haryana state government"

Chandigarh, May 7

Taking a major step towards administrative and legal reforms, Haryana's Advocate General's Office has now become fully digitalised.

Under the leadership of Advocate General Pravindra Singh Chauhan, Haryana has become the first state where all legal operations in the office are being conducted entirely through digital systems.

This achievement is being regarded as a new benchmark not only for Haryana but for the entire country, the state government said.

The Advocate General on Thursday officially launched the Pro-Case Management System live, marking the beginning of a new era of digital legal administration.

The digital transformation journey began around six months ago when Advocate General Chauhan appointed Senior Deputy Advocate General Arun Tewatia as the Information Technology and Information Technology (Security Nodal Officer) and the computerisation chairman.

He was entrusted with the responsibility of converting all manual operations of the office into digital processes.

Thereafter, work was initiated in mission mode, transforming the traditional functioning of the office into a modern digital system.

The Advocate General said this vision has now been fully accomplished.

He explained that the backbone of this digital ecosystem is the Pro Case Management System, an advanced extension of the Litigation Management System.

Through this platform, vetting, legal opinions, case-related correspondence, and litigation management between the Advocate General's office and government departments are now being carried out completely digitally.

This has significantly accelerated workflows and minimised unnecessary delays.

He said all case-related documents, including paper books, replies, written statements, and previous court orders, are now securely available in Portable Document Format.

This has nearly eliminated dependency on physical files while enhancing transparency, efficiency, and accessibility.

Senior Deputy Advocate General Tewatia said that through the electronic roster, law officers will receive immediate access to paper books, replies, and final court orders directly in their accounts.

Electronic judgment will enable instant access to court judgments and orders, and electronic vetting will make legal scrutiny and review processes faster and easier.

Through electronic opinion, departments will receive legal advice more quickly.

Good initiative but I hope they have proper cybersecurity measures in place. Legal documents are sensitive, and we've seen too many data breaches in government portals. Let's hope the implementation matches the vision.

Impressive! As someone working in legal tech, this is a significant milestone. The shift from manual files to PDF-based systems is huge. Hope other states follow Haryana's example soon.

Six months to go fully digital is quite fast. But what about training for older staff who aren't comfortable with computers? Hope they've accounted for that. Digital is good, but people need to be able to use it properly.

Great to see states embracing technology for governance. The electronic roster and opinion systems sound very efficient. This is the kind of progress India needs at all levels of administration!

Wonderful step! As a lawyer practicing in Punjab, I've seen how tedious file management can be. This will reduce delays significantly. Hope the system has backup and disaster recovery plans though. Technology is great until it fails!

Typical Haryana - leading the way again! But seriously, this is a model for other states. Imagine if all High Courts and District Courts also go fully digital. Cases would clear much faster. Kudos to the team! 🎉
