With the Supreme Court today getting a dedicated customised pin code, the delivery of petitions and other urgent mails would be faster.
Chief Justice of India P Sathasivam lauded the allotment of customised dedicated pin code 110201 to the apex court and asked the postal department to consider providing the same facility to High Courts across the country.
"I hope this system is extended to High Courts. You can first consider granting it to High Courts situated in metro cities like Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai," Justice Sathasivam said.
The CJI also asked Kapil Sibal, Minister of Communications and IT and Law and Justice, not to stop the post card system on the ground that in villages, they are still being used.
Sibal, speaking at the occasion, said post offices in the country would be digitalised in near future and the Reserve Bank of India has, in principle, agreed to allow them to act as banks.
"However, this is opposed by big private banks," he said, adding bulk mail recipients like UPSC can be accorded customised dedicated pin codes.
