Abstract
The Internet and the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have
entirely changed the way governments function and have revolutionised legal
governance as well all over the globe. At the international level for initiating
such a gigantic change, to begin with, the Model Law on Electronic Commerce
(MLEC), put forward by the United Nations Commission on International Trade
Law (UNCITRAL) and adopted on 12 June 1996 had played a commendable role.
Subsequently, Model Law on Electronic Signatures (MLES), was adopted. The
Information Technology Act 2000 amended in 2008 contains the provisions for
e-governance thus legally recognising the use of ICTs in judicial administration
in India.
