DHAKA, Jan 23, 2026 (BSS) - Bangladesh's justice sector is undergoing a significant digital transformation as the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs rolls out a series of technology-driven services aimed at improving access to justice, reducing delays, and curbing corruption. In a landmark step toward modernizing the country's judiciary, the government has so far launched the E-Bail Bond Management System in nine districts, significantly enhancing transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the bail process. The system was first introduced in Narayanganj on October 15, 2025, addressing long-standing delays and bureaucratic hurdles that traditionally plagued bail procedures. In the second phase, the E-Bail Bond system was rolled out on January 21 in Manikganj, Bandarban, Meherpur, Joypurhat, Moulvibazar, Panchagarh, Jhalokathi, and Sherpur, further expanding its reach across the country. "We still have some time in hand, and during this period we will try to roll out the service in several more districts. We hope that the system will be operational in all 64 districts of the country within the next six months," said Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul. Following the introduction of the E-Bail Bond system, the ministry has already launched several other key digital platforms that are reshaping how citizens, lawyers, and courts interact with the legal system. One of the most notable initiatives is the E-Family Court, launched in Dhaka on November 24, 2025, and in Chattogram on November 30, 2025. The platform allows litigants, lawyers, and judges to file and conduct family dispute cases remotely through individual online accounts, significantly reducing the need for physical court appearances and easing pressure on conventional courtrooms. Another widely welcomed initiative is E-Attestation, which has streamlined the document verification process. Previously, individuals had to travel to Dhaka and wait in long queues for attestation services. The digital system now enables citizens to complete the process online from home, saving time, cost, and effort. The ministry has also introduced the E-Cause List, providing real-time online access to case schedules, hearing dates, summaries of judicial decisions, next procedural steps, and overall case progress. Legal practitioners and litigants say the service has enhanced transparency and reduced uncertainty in court proceedings. To expand access to justice for disadvantaged communities, the Online Legal Aid service now allows applicants to seek government legal assistance digitally. The platform also supports online dispute resolution, with authorities indicating that it will soon be fully digitized to ensure end-to-end service delivery. Alongside these operational services, the ministry is preparing to launch two major digital initiatives. Work is underway to introduce online registration for marriage and divorce, which is expected to simplify procedures and reduce administrative delays. At the same time, the government has initiated the E-Registration system for property transactions. A project has already been approved and implementation has begun. To facilitate this transition, the Registration Act has been amended to incorporate e-registration, enabling land deed registration to be completed online. Officials believe the system will significantly reduce corruption and public harassment associated with manual property registration. Legal experts say the growing adoption of digital platforms marks a decisive step toward a more transparent, efficient, and citizen-centric justice system. With several services already operational and more in the pipeline, the Ministry of Law's digitalization drive is expected to play a crucial role in modernizing Bangladesh's legal infrastructure.
