The petition projected the problem faced by judge, lawyers and litigants due to poor internet connectivity, hence asks for the court to intervene and resolve the issues. The plea added that the majority of lawyers are facing the problem connectivity in their chamber blocks in court complexes and this has been making the work difficult for practising advocates.

The plea cited three major issues regarding the digital divide – accessibility to equipment and apt infrastructure, broadband connectivity, and lack of digital literacy and skills required to process proceedings completely.
