Abstract
COVID-19 has caused a lot of disruptions around the world. It has not just impacted the economic and social conditions but also judicial systems all over the world. Following this, the courts started adapting itself to the problems associated with it as to social distancing and other healthcare measures. This has created a lot of problems for delivering justice in court, also the litigation in courts is going to increase post-pandemic and challenges too are going to be further intensified. The courts shifted themselves from conventional court systems to deliver justice online which has in a way supported individuals, lawyers and even the judges to grant justice. However, the use of disruptive technology has raised concerns as to whether the results created by these advances would actually represent the conventional definition of ‘justice’ or not.
