Cabinet approves Rs. 150 m to fast-track e-Courts

THE Cabinet of Ministers on Monday approved a Rs. 150 million allocation to the Judicial Service Commission to accelerate the rollout of the e-Court Project, reinforcing the Government's push to modernise the country’s judicial system in line with its wider fiscal and governance reform agenda.

The funding, drawn from provisions allocated under the Clean Sri Lanka Project, was approved following a proposal submitted by the Justice and National Integration Minister Harshana Nanayakkara.

The initiative is positioned as a key reform aligned with the public investment priorities set out under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) backed reform agenda for 2026-2030 and the Government's broader Clean Sri Lanka Strategy, both of which place emphasis on transparency, efficiency and institutional reform.

Sri Lanka has identified the digitalisation of its judicial system as a national priority, with the first phase already underway at the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka.
