“National Judicial Reference System” (NJRS).

FYI - The CBDT has announced the setting up of a “National Judicial Reference System” (NJRS).

The NJRS comprises of two components, the “Appeals repository and Management System” and the “Judicial Research and Reference System”.

The Appeals repository is a database of all appeals pending in the ITAT, High Court and Supreme Court.

The Judicial Research and Reference System is a database of all decisions of the ITAT, High Courts & the Supreme Court. The cases will be indexed, searchable and cross-linked. The database will also have the relevant statutory enactments, circulars etc.

It is expected that the NJRS will go-live by November/ December 2014.
