Chandigarh: Taking a major step towards administrative and legal reforms, the Advocate General’s Office of Haryana has now become completely digitalised. Under the leadership of Ld. Advocate General Sh. Pravindra Singh Chauhan, Haryana, has become the first state in India where all legal operations in the Advocate General Office are being conducted entirely through digital systems. This achievement is being regarded as a new benchmark not only for Haryana but for the entire country.
On Thursday afternoon, Haryana Advocate General, Pravindra Singh Chauhan officially launched the Pro Case Management System (PCMS) live, marking the beginning of a new era of digital legal administration.
The digital transformation journey began around six months ago when Advocate General, Pravindra Singh Chauhan appointed Senior Deputy Advocate General, Arun Tewatia as the IT and IT Security Nodal Officer and Chairman of the Computer Committee. He was entrusted with the responsibility of converting all manual operations of the office into digital processes. Thereafter, work was initiated in mission mode, transforming the traditional functioning of the office into a modern digital system.
Advocate General,Pravindra Singh Chauhan said that this vision has now been fully accomplished. He explained that the backbone of this digital ecosystem is the Pro Case Management System (PCMS), an advanced extension of the Litigation Management System (LMS). Through this platform, vetting, legal opinions, case-related correspondence, and litigation management between the Advocate General Office and various government departments are now being carried out completely digitally. This has significantly accelerated workflows and minimised unnecessary delays.
He further informed that all case-related documents—including paper books, replies, written statements, and previous court orders—are now securely available in PDF format. This has nearly eliminated dependency on physical files while enhancing transparency, efficiency, and accessibility.
Meanwhile, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Arun Tewatia said that several modern e-governance modules have also been introduced by the IT and IT Security Division.
He said that through e-Roster, law officers will receive immediate access to paper books, replies, and final court orders directly in their accounts. e-Judgement will enable instant access to court judgments and orders. e-Vetting will make legal scrutiny and review processes faster and easier. Through e-Opinion, departments will receive legal advice more quickly. e-Pairvi will ensure greater transparency and accuracy in case presentations and summaries. A seven-layer QR code-based security-enabled visitor management system has been implemented through e-Visitor Pass.
The e-Organisational Chart will provide digital information regarding all law officers and employees. The e-Dashboard will display real-time information related to total cases pertaining to Haryana, including urgent, ordinary, COCP, and court-wise matters. Additionally, e-Directory will serve as a digital platform containing contact details of nodal officers of all government departments.
Advocate General, Pravindra Singh Chauhan said that these innovations have established a completely digital legal ecosystem within the Advocate General Office, enabling work to be carried out with greater speed, transparency, and accountability. This initiative reflects Haryana’s administrative capability and technological vision. At the same time, it establishes a new national benchmark in the modernisation of legal institutions across India.
