• J&K State Judicial Academy organised two programmes at Srinagar (26th May 2010) and Jammu (4th June 2010) on use of 'Speech Technology'. Judicial Officers were told about two aspects of the technology viz. (1) Control of Computer by Voice Command, and (2) Speech to Text Conversion. Second aspect of the technology can be utilised by the Judicial Officers to increase the speed of writing Judgments and Orders, and also to reduce their dependence on Steno/Typists.

  • Demonstration/Presentation of “Dragon Naturally Speaking” software based on 'Speech Technology', was made. It has shown the tremendous results. Regular use of the software can substantially increase the 'speed and accuracy'.

"Random Thoughts"

'The judges are too often inclined to fold their hands and blame the legislature, when really they ought to set to work and give the words a reasonable meaning, even if this does involve a departure from the letter of them. By so doing they are more likely to find the truth.'

-- Lord Denning
'The Influence of religion'
- in “The Changing Law”, 1953, at Page 106
 

Hon'ble the Supreme Court in “All India Judges Association v. Union of India, AIR 1992 SC 164” had laid emphasis on in-depth training for Judicial Officers. It was desired to have a regular set up where Judicial officers of all ranks would get judicial training on regular basis. After the commissioning of National Judicial Academy at Bhopal, Judicial Academies formally were established by some of the High Courts. High Court of Jammu and Kashmir also established regular Judicial Academy in the year 2001, Vide Hon'ble High Court of Jammu and Kashmir's Order No. 342 Dated 26th July 2001. Since then Jammu and Kashmir State Judicial Academy is functioning regularly and is holding training programmes on regular basis.

 
 

History

Jammu and Kashmir State Judicial Academy holds the rare distinction of being one of the oldest Judicial Academies in India. Though it was not formally established  and did not have regular infrastructure but it continued to function on the need basis. It first started functioning in the year 1973 as Jammu and Kashmir Judicial Officers' Training Institute, under the leadership of great visionary Chief Justice of  High Court of Jammu and Kashmir, of the time Sh.Murtaza Fazal Ali. First batch of Munsiffs/Judicial Magistrates were imparted 'Induction Training' by the Training Institute in the year 1973. Thereafter Jammu and Kashmir Judicial Officers' Training Institute had been holding 'Induction Training' courses for the newly recruited Officers of Subordinate Judiciary, on every selection. Apart from 'Induction Training' courses,  few Workshops and Refresher Courses were also organised by the Academy from time to time.
