Answer:
Kollam, Kerala
Notes: Justice Bhushan Ramkrishna Gavai inaugurated India's first digital court, 24*7 ONCOURTS, in Kollam, Kerala, to handle cheque bounce cases. This digital court operates entirely online, from case filing to judgments, aiming to increase efficiency and reduce case backlog. The court will start accepting cheque bounce cases in September 2024 and may set a precedent for similar courts in Kerala. Automation is expected to improve productivity and reduce pending cases, with potential future expansion to cases under the Motor Vehicles Act.
