E-mail IDs of Registry officials will be published on the Court website to enable the recipients to verify the source of the e-mail. 14. Computation of Time 14.1. Wherever limitation/time limits apply, it will be the responsibility of the party concerned to ensure that the filing is carried out well before the cut-off date and time.

For computing the time at which e-filing is made, Indian Standard Time (IST) will apply. 14.2. E-filing through Designated Counters will be permissible up to 1600 hours on any court working day. Online e-filing carried out after 1600hours on any day, will be treated as the date which follows the actual filing date provided it is a court working day. Actions filed on a day declared as gazetted holiday or on a day when the court is closed, will be regarded as having been filed on the next working day. For the computation of limitation, online e-filing shall be subject to the same legal regime as applicable to the physical filing, save and except as provided hereinabove. 14.3. The facility for online e-filing through the web portal shall be available during all twenty-four hours of each day, subject to breakdown, server downtime, system maintenance or such other exigencies.

No exemption from limitation shall be permitted on the ground of failure of the web-based online e-filing facility. 14.4. Provisions for limitation governing online e-filing will be the same as those applicable to the physical filing. The period of limitation for such actions will commence from the date when e-filing is made as per the procedure prescribed in these Rules. 15.

Storage and Retrieval of e-Filed Documents and Pleadings E-filings will be stored on an exclusive server maintained under the control and directions of the High Court / E-Committee. Each such filing will be separately labelled and encrypted to facilitate easy identification and retrieval. The security of such filings will be ensured. Access to e-filings would be restricted in the manner provided herein above and as may be notified from time to time. For continuity of operations in case of disaster, natural calamity or breakdown, a mirror image of e- filings available on the servers located in the Court may be maintained at different geographical locations, as decided from time to time by the High Court / E-Committee. Provided for marking electronic records as exhibits in the course of the trial, the protocol set out in Appendix IX shall be followed qua the Actions instituted in the High Court. As regards the District Court, as and when the application is made available, the relevant procedure to be followed shall be notified by the Administrator. However, the mere assigning of a unique number to the electronic record will not amount to the authentication or proof of such electronic record. Nothing in these rules shall be construed as dispensing with the proof of the electronic record as required under the law.PART II—I] DELHI GAZETTE : EXTRAORDINARY 77] 18. Residuary provisions 18.1. The e-filing made by an Advocate/litigant in person will be rejected if they do not follow the protocol mandated by these Rules or practice directions. 18.2. Subject to such further directions as may be issued, it would not be obligatory on the part of the opposite party to accept pleadings and documents by email. In such an eventuality, hard copies of pleadings and documents will have to be provided to the opposite party. In such circumstances, the plaintiff/ petitioner can be called upon to deposit the charges calculated based on the number of pages per defendant/respondent which are required to be photocopied. This facility will be provided by the Registry on a written request being made by the defendant(s)/respondent(s). 18.3.
