We already got eSCR. Hopefully, in the next few weeks, we will have a digital SCR. Digital SCR is exactly as it appears in volumes. eSCR is obviously an electronic copy. We have updated the headnotes right probably upto the last month or so now," he told members of the bar.He asked lawyers to have a look at eSCR and called for their suggestions or improvement.
