<p>India&rsquo;s justice delivery system is going through a major digital transformation through initiatives such as the e-Courts Mission Mode Project, virtual hearings, online legal services, and technology-enabled dispute resolution mechanisms. These reforms are often projected as instruments for efficiency, transparency, and expanded access. However, for persons with disabilities (PwDs), digital justice offers a complicated paradox simultaneously offering new opportunities for inclusion while generating fresh forms of exclusion. Against the backdrop of India&rsquo;s vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047, this paper thoroughly evaluates whether digital transformation genuinely enhances access to justice for PwDs or merely reconfigures existing structural barriers into digital spaces.</p>

<p>Using a doctrinal and policy-oriented research methodology, the study analyses constitutional guarantees, the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, judicial pronouncements, and technology-driven justice initiatives in India. It explores how digital platforms can reduce physical and geographical barriers for PwDs, particularly through virtual courts, e-filing systems, and assistive technologies. At the same time, the paper identifies systemic risks arising from inaccessible digital interfaces, the digital divide, lack of disability-sensitive design, and limited institutional capacity within the legal system.</p>

<p>The study further draws comparative insights from international jurisdictions to highlight best practices in disability-inclusive digital justice. It argues that without embedding accessibility, reasonable accommodation, and human dignity into the design and governance of digital justice systems, technological reforms may undermine the very goal of equal access to justice. The paper concludes by proposing a rights-based and inclusion-centric digital justice framework aligned with constitutional values, sustainable development goals, and India&rsquo;s long-term socio-economic transformation agenda. In doing so, it situates disability-inclusive digital justice as a foundational pillar of India&rsquo;s journey toward an equitable and developed society by 2047.</p>
