What is ICJS?

The ICJS is an initiative of the Supreme Court e-Committee for seamless exchange of data and information between the five important pillars of the Criminal Justice System - Police, Courts, Prisons, Forensics and Prosecution as per the matrix recommended by the Justice Lokur Committee.

Through ICJS, information related to any criminal such as prior criminal record, prison admission and prison release, accomplice in crime, criminal’s network, etc. can be accessed by courts in the form of metadata. 

The ICJS portal can be used as an important tool in criminal search, investigation of cases, passport verification, character verification, bail applications and preventive actions on various scales.

This portal was appreciated by all the judges and questions and suggestions related to it were also discussed. District and Sessions Judge Giribala Singh directed all the judges to make maximum use of this portal.
