Why Ask Lawyers To File Physical Copies In Addition To E-Filed Appeals? Supreme Court Asks NCDRC

The Supreme Court questioned the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) on why lawyers are required to file physical copies of appeals in addition to e-filed ones. The bench highlighted the redundancy and inefficiency of this practice, given the push towards digitalization in legal proceedings. The court's inquiry underscores the need to streamline legal processes and eliminate outdated requirements that contradict the move towards a more efficient, digital legal system.
