In a significant step toward enhancing judicial accessibility and transparency, the Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court on Tuesday inaugurated the “e-AHCR Board Room” at the SUVAS (Supreme Court Vidhik Anuvaad Software) Cell of the court.
The newly launched digital platform is a dedicated webpage that will provide Hindi versions of reported judgments of the Allahabad High Court, making judicial pronouncements more accessible to the wider public.
The inauguration ceremony was held under the aegis of the AI-Assisted Legal Translation Advisory, e-AHCR, and ILR Committee, and was attended by Justice Ajit Kumar, Chairman of the Committee, along with Justice Vikram D. Chauhan and Justice Jitendra Kumar Sinha, members of the committee.
Translation of All Reportable Judgments Completed
Speaking on the occasion, Justice Ajit Kumar announced a major milestone, stating that the translation of all reportable judgments of the Allahabad High Court from the year 2010 up to October 2025 has now been completed.
He informed that the SUVAS Cell is currently engaged in translating nine categories of non-reportable judgments.
He further assured that on the occasion of the 160th anniversary of the establishment of the Allahabad High Court on March 17, 2026, the court will formally begin the translation of all remaining non-reportable final orders and judgments, marking another historic step in judicial outreach.
