Litigant Registration

1. Litigants can create an account using their Mobile number (OTP verification).

2. Registration based on the mobile number will be unique, with only one registration per mobile number.

3. On the first login, individuals have to fill out a registration form with their details.

   • They can verify their identity using Aadhar or upload an ID card. The Nyay Mitra team will check these details.

   • Once the form is filled, individuals will be given access to the home page with the option to file a case, view cases etc.

4. If the individual drops out before registering, the user will log in to a home screen where the only card the user will see is to complete the registration.

Advocate Registration

1. Advocates can create an account using their Mobile number (OTP verification).

2. Registration based on the mobile number will be unique, with only one registration per mobile number.

3. On the first login, advocates, similar to individuals, will be required to fill out a registration form with their details -

   • Advocates will have the option to verify their identity using their Aadhar or upload an ID card.

   • Additionally, Advocates will have to provide their BAR registration details.

   • Once the form is filled, the approval workflow will be triggered.

   • The registration approver will be able to view all registration requests in their inbox and will be able to approve/reject a request.

   • Rejection of a request will require remarks to be mandatorily added by the registration approver.

   • Upon approval, advocates will be given access to the home page with the option to file a case, view cases etc.

4. In case the advocate drops out before registering, the user will log in to a home screen where the only card the user will see is to register.

5. Advocates can view their application status in their My Applications section.

Advocate Clerk Registration

The Advocate Clerk registration process is the same as the Advocate registration except that they will not have to provide a BAR ID.

Notifications

The following SMS notifications are to be triggered during the workflow:

1. The Advocate will receive an SMS notification on approval of their Registration Request.

Employees

1. Employees can log in to the system using a username and password.

2. After logging in, they can review all the pending registrations for advocates and advocate clerks and approve/reject them.
