With virtual hearings becoming norm, e-libraries a necessity: CJI Gavai

1 2 Nagpur: As virtual hearings and digital legal research become the new normal, Chief Justice of India Bhushan Gavai underscored the growing importance of e-libraries while inaugurating the Adv TR Gilda Memorial e-Library at the Amravati District and Sessions Court on Saturday. "E-libraries are no longer a luxury, they are a necessity," Gavai said at a function hosted by the Amravati District Bar Association (ADBA) at Sipna College of Engineering. "The legal profession has undergone a rapid digital shift. Lawyers, especially the younger generation, need instant access to updated judgments, legal literature, and reference material. This facility addresses those needs," he said. CJI Gavai, who had been recently hospitalized, said he chose to travel to Amravati against medical advice to witness the e-library come alive. "It was a personal moment of pride," he said, recalling his close ties with Gilda, in whose memory the facility has been constructed. Gavia also urged legal professionals to incorporate the digital library into their everyday work, citing the Marathi adage 'Vachal tar Vachaal' (those who read, survive). "The internet has changed the way we work in court. E-resources must be used not just for convenience, but as a professional habit." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pierce Brosnan's Wife Lost 120 Pounds - This Is Her Now Undo Supreme Court Justice Atul Chandurkar, Justices Anil Kilor and Pravin Patil, district judge Sudhakar Yarlagadda, and members of the legal fraternity were present at the event.
