Colombo, May 15 (Daily Mirror) - Marking a significant milestone in the digital transformation of Sri Lanka’s legal system, the Supreme Court (SC) today inaugurated its integration with GovPay, the government’s digital payment platform.

The landmark event took place at the Supreme Court Complex in Colombo, heralding a new chapter in modernizing public service delivery within the judiciary.

The ceremonial inauguration was held under the patronage of the Chief Justice, President's Counsel Ms. Mudu Fernando, and was attended by a host of senior legal professionals, officials from LankaPay and the Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA), as well as high-ranking representatives from the banking and legal sectors.

With this new integration, a range of payments for Supreme Court services — previously handled through manual cash transactions — can now be completed online via internet and mobile banking portals, and FinTech applications linked to the GovPay digital platform. The move ensures payments can be made easily, securely, and instantly, offering enhanced convenience for legal professionals and the public alike.

Good move. Also try to speed up legal processes by making a digital copy of all cases and future cases so that judges will find it easier when going through new cases

Make payment to lawyers cashless. Many lawyers take cash and evade taxes.

Why can't the government just get public departments like the NIC office, passport office or RMV etc accept payment via debit cards? Same as cash...
