To facilitate online filing of cases and digital processing, the Adjudicatory Board for Major Ports (ABMP) has launched an e-Filing Portal and released a User Manual at Kochi.

The initiative marks an important milestone in the digital transformation of the Board and is aimed at facilitating a transparent, efficient and user-friendly mechanism for filing and managing cases before the board.

The e-Filing Portal has been developed to facilitate online filing of cases and digital processing and management of case-related activities. Its integration with e-Court facilities is intended to support hybrid hearings and enhance accessibility and procedural efficiency.

The initiative is expected to streamline filing procedures, improve transparency and provide greater convenience to litigants, legal professionals and other stakeholders dealing with the Board.

The User Manual provides step-by-step guidance on the use of the eFiling Portal. A presentation and live demonstration of the portal and the Digital Case Management System were also organised to familiarise stakeholders with their features and functionalities.

The programme provided an opportunity for participants to share their suggestions and feedback for facilitating the effective implementation and wider adoption of the digital platform.

The ABMP was constituted by the Central Government under the Major Port Authorities Act, 2021, to discharge the adjudicatory and other functions assigned to it under the Act. The launch of the e-Filing Portal reflects the board’s commitment to leveraging technology for strengthening institutional processes and advancing the objectives of digital governance, ease of doing business and efficient dispute resolution in the major ports sector.
