Summary
Haryana Leads Digital Implementation of New Criminal Laws
Haryana has secured the top position on the National New Criminal Laws Dashboard, reflecting significant progress in digitising criminal justice administration. The state has achieved 100% electronic generation of court summons and more than 90% digital consumption of charge sheets, demonstrating substantial integration between police and judicial systems under the new criminal law framework. These reforms are aimed at reducing procedural delays, improving transparency, and accelerating the movement of case records across institutions.
Sustained Performance Across Governance Platforms
The achievement is part of a broader pattern of administrative performance. Haryana has maintained the top position on the National New Criminal Laws Dashboard since 7 June 2026 and has ranked first on multiple governance monitoring platforms over recent years. The state also secured the top position on the Pragati Dashboard in April 2026, indicating continued emphasis on implementation monitoring and service delivery outcomes.
Citizen-Centric Service Delivery Through Digital Platforms
Alongside criminal justice reforms, Haryana Police has maintained a perfect 10/10 score on the Right to Service Dashboard through the HarSamay platform. More than 88.84 lakh citizen applications have been disposed of within prescribed timelines. The figures highlight how police modernisation efforts are being linked not only to investigations and case management but also to citizen-facing services such as verifications, certifications, complaints, and public applications.
ICJS 2.0 Strengthens Criminal Justice Integration
Progress was reviewed during the 33rd State Apex Committee meeting on the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) and the Interoperable Criminal Justice System (ICJS), chaired by Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi. Haryana is expanding digital connectivity among police stations, courts, prisons, prosecution departments, and forensic laboratories through the ICJS 2.0 programme. The initiative includes deployment of biometric devices, QR-code scanners, video conferencing systems, desktop infrastructure, and other digital hardware. To support these upgrades, the Ministry of Home Affairs has approved approximately ₹34 crore in funding.
What is the Interoperable Criminal Justice System (ICJS)?
The Interoperable Criminal Justice System (ICJS) is a national digital platform designed to connect the major institutions of the criminal justice system, including police, courts, prisons, prosecution departments, and forensic laboratories. Rather than functioning as separate information silos, these institutions can exchange records electronically through a common framework. The system enables faster sharing of case documents, improves tracking of criminal proceedings, reduces duplication of records, and supports more efficient delivery of justice.
Policy Relevance

Improves Police-Court Coordination: Integration through CCTNS and ICJS strengthens information sharing among police, courts, prisons, prosecution departments, and forensic laboratories, helping reduce procedural delays.
Supports Faster Justice Delivery: Electronic transmission of legal documents can reduce time lost in manual paperwork, physical movement of records, and administrative bottlenecks.
Strengthens Transparency and Accountability: Digital summons, charge sheets, and dashboard-based monitoring create verifiable records of official actions, making criminal justice processes easier to track and audit.
Enhances Citizen-Centric Governance: The disposal of over 88.84 lakh citizen applications through HarSamay demonstrates how police modernisation can improve public-facing services alongside criminal investigations.
Provides a Replicable Model for States: Haryana’s performance highlights the importance of sustained administrative leadership, institutional coordination, and digital infrastructure in implementing criminal justice reforms.
Relevant Question for Stakeholders: How can states ensure that the rapid digitisation of criminal justice systems improves efficiency and transparency while simultaneously protecting due process rights, data security, and citizen privacy?
