Wayanad’s Kalpetta Becomes India’s First Fully Paperless Judicial District

Kalpetta district judiciary in Kerala has become India’s first fully paperless judicial district, with all courts functioning digitally from filing to final orders.

Developed entirely in-house by the Kerala High Court, the system integrates AI-assisted case summaries, voice-to-text deposition recording, digital annotations, and secure e-signatures.

CJI Surya Kant termed it a step towards green jurisprudence and wider access to justice, while Justice Vikram Nath called it a scalable national model.
