Now, all petitions and paper books must be submitted electronically, with scanned copies required. Notices, orders, certified copies, and pleadings will also be issued digitally. Hearings through video link are allowed, and affidavits can be authenticated via apostille.
To improve communication, parties and advocates must provide updated contact numbers, email addresses, and digital application details. Judicial documents sent by post will no longer be accepted.
