Deciphering Judicial Data: DAKSH’s Database

DECIPHERING JUDICIAL DATA: DAKSH’S DATABASE

The growth of the e-courts system has led to an exponential increase in the availability of court-related statistics. There are millions of records for case and hearing related information that are on the e-courts website today. However, with the inflow of a large volume of data over the past several years, there has also arisen the need to ensure that the data available online is standardised so that it can provide the most accurate insights. Our research indicates that there exists lot of inconsistencies in data that needs to be streamlined before proceeding with the analysis. In this regard, various case and hearing related data available on e-courts are systematically cleaned, streamlined and pushed in the DAKSH’s database, a one of a kind public database. The analysis of such data can be useful for judges, advocates, litigants, and various other stakeholders of the system. Therefore, the note provided below examines issues pertaining to data inconsistencies and shares DAKSH’s efforts in harmonising the data publicly available on the e-courts website.
