Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Yahya Afridi chaired a high-level meeting focused on judicial reforms in a significant step toward modernising Pakistan’s judicial system.
At the start of the session, the Supreme Court registrar welcomed the participants. The agenda revolved around various reforms, including the adoption of digital technologies, the reduction of case backlogs, and the expansion of public access to justice.
Main goals identified during the meeting included ensuring judicial transparency and expediting case resolutions. To support these objectives, an "online feedback form" was launched, enabling citizens to provide suggestions and share their opinions on judicial matters.
The participants also discussed measures to improve Pakistan's standing in the World Justice Index by restoring public trust in the judiciary. Updates from the IT Directorate revealed promising progress in integrating digital technologies into the judicial process, with the Supreme Court underscoring its determination to make legal proceedings more transparent and efficient.
A plan to expand public access to justice was also reviewed, with emphasis placed on innovative approaches to address the pendency of cases. The session concluded with a question-and-answer segment, allowing officers to share their insights and address concerns raised during the discussions.
