Introduction
The Supreme Court's landmark judgment
in Jitendra Kumar Rode v. Union of India
(2023) exposed a fundamental vulnerability in India's judicial infrastructure:
the catastrophic loss of trial court records that can render appellate justice
meaningless. While the Court correctly emphasized constitutional due
process and mandated digitization, the case presents a compelling argument for
why immutable technologies, particularly blockchain, offer transformative
solutions that go far beyond traditional digital record-keeping to ensure true
appellate fairness.
