SC makes history by hearing cases through e-court facility

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Monday started hearing cases through the E-court system, becoming the first court to utilise the facility.

A three-member bench headed by the Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa and comprising Justice Sardar Tariq Masood and Justice Mazhar Alam Khan Miankhel formally initiated the proceedings of cases through the e-court system at the principal seat in Islamabad and Supreme Court’s Karachi registry.

Advocates in Karachi argued their cases through video link, while the bench at the SC heard and decided the cases.
Justice Khosa while hearing the first case remarked that, “a big milestone has been achieved in the judicial history of Pakistan that cases are being heard through this technology.”

“The facility will benefit lawyers and litigants and save them time and money.”

The chief justice also thanked the information technology committee of the SC and NADRA for their untiring efforts that made this project successful.
