National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG), started as a part of the ongoing e-Courts Integrated Mission Mode Project, now covers all district and sub-divisional courts of India. It computerizes, records the judicial information and monitors the cases from the time the case is registered, till it is disposed of with judgement. It also groups similar law points, court rules, similar cases and related Acts.

There appears to be a lack of coordinating machinery between the respective State Governments and High Courts.

Devendra Fadnavis as chief minister and Ajit Pawar, former leader of the opposition and NCP member as deputy chief, were hastily sworn in. All this was in clear violation of the Constitution, and yet it did not surprise anyone. In last six years, Constitution was ravaged many a time. Groaning in pain, people still managed to have on a brave face.
