E-copies of original records

The Court has recommended the following amendments to streamline the demand for case records in criminal appeals-

 E-copies of original records - Sub-rule 3 should be amended to insert the words 'soft copy' before the words 'original records', as a result of which e-copies of original records will be sought.  This will facilitate much faster availability of such records to the court and will also lead to a more environmentally conscious approach.

 Extend such demand even where leave has been granted against conviction or acquittal.

 Providing soft copies to counsels.
