The two-storeyed office houses two trial courts and one appellate court which deals with registration of trusts, changes in reports, formulation of schemes and complaints involving trusts. While the trial courts are currently handling over 7000 cases, complaints submitted on a daily basis are steadily adding to the number. The computers had been allotted to the offices with an aim at computerising the records, thus making data documentation and typing of orders easy, said one of the officials.

Computers are not the only machines lying unused in the office. While its predecessor, a dusty typewriter, lies stranded in one of the courtrooms, again owing to the lack of a qualified typist to operate it; a technology glitch has prevented the use of laptops given to the three Commissioners by the Bombay High Court. “The laptops are installed with Linux software, which is incompatible with the desktops and the printer. This makes transfer of data impossible, as data fed into one cant be deciphered by the other,” said the official.
