A list of over 10,000 judgements from January 1,2014 to March 31,2023 have been released by the Supreme Court. The judgements are proposed with neutral citations to facilitate crowdsourced checking.
The exercise is to check for any missing or incorrect items that can be addressed with the help of legal professionals and publishers.
As per the notice, the inputs on the same should be sent to the Registrar of the top court’s Library and Editorial Section within 15 days.
The notice read that it looks for invaluable suggestions on the proposed list of cases and the referral neutral citations.
One may compare the list of cases and neutral citations with their own database and accordingly make suggestions regarding any missing or incorrect data, if any, in the list of judgements.
A final list of judgments with neutral citation will be published by the Registry after the suggestions are received and recorded.
Suggestions, if any, may be forwarded to the Registrar, Library and Editorial Section through email on judgeslibrary@sci.nic.in within 15 days.
The Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud is the brain behind the system of neutral citations which will ensure a uniform pattern of citing all decisions of the High Court and the Supreme Court.
CJI Chandrachud announced the launch of this system in February this year.
An e-ESCR project was also launched by the CJI whereby digital version of all Supreme Court judgments are made available online for free access.
