Abstract: It is well known that judiciary is one of the most important organs of any State. The quality of justice of a country is mostly based on the strong, independent and fair judiciary. By ensuring justice judiciary plays the key role in development progress of a country. But in Bangladesh it is an irony of fate that in the judiciary there is too much corruption, nepotism, inordinate delay and many other serious problems are deeply entered. As a result the judiciary is failed to provide the ultimate justice for general people. If anyone looks over the existing civil litigation system can easily find out many problems and lickings. In the present civil litigation system the Court never follows the speedy process at all and in case of service of summons, framing of issues, discovery, and execution process there are huge problem. Again, various types of corruption from among the judicial officers, lawyers and clients are clearly seen in Court premises. To prevent these types of dreadful conditions State required very urgent effective steps. Now this is an age of digitalization and through the use of digital means State can improve the existing civil litigation system.
