LAHORE: Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice, Justice Aalia Neelum, has approved and initiated the implementation of a plan to allow citizens to access case updates from their homes through a website and mobile app.
As part of her commitment to reducing public hardships, Chief Justice LHC Aalia Neelum has introduced technology-driven solutions to save much valuable time and money. Under this initiative, citizens would be able to track court proceedings and updates through the LHC’s website and mobile application.
The project that is due to start this month, aims to provide case updates to the litigants. Chief Justice LHC has tasked Additional Registra IT, Jamal Ahmad, to oversee the implementation of this project.
The LHC would be the first high court of Pakistan to initiate this step.
While talking to Dunya News, senior lawyer Ahsan Bhoon said that Chief Justice LHC’s steps towards facilitating litigants were commendable, highlighting its potential to ensure timely justice through effective use of technology.
He noted that this would resolve frequent complaints from litigants about unnecessary visits to LHC which would make the process more efficient for both litigants and lawyers.
Supreme Court Advocate Chaudhry Naseer Kamboh appreciated Justice Aalia Neelum for her historic contributions as Punjab’s first female Chief Justice. He emphasised her proactive approach to resolve public grievances and enhance lawyers’ welfare.
