TIRUCHI: As part of computerisation of the country’s judicial system, laptops were distributed to 27 judicial officers in the district on Monday.

The first laptop was given to the First Additional District Judge, V. Ramamurthy.

The distribution of laptops was carried out as per the direction of the Madras High Court, in the wake of the decision of the Supreme Court’s E-Committee to provide laptops to judicial officers, authorities said.

The judicial officers would utilise the laptops to store a host of information including daily schedule, points for arguments, latest case laws, details of cases, details of disposal and citations.
