The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Wednesday hosted the signing of a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan (LJCP) and the National Information Technology Board (NITB), alongside the formal launch of the E-Office system in the apex court, 24NewsHD TV reported.
The ceremony was graced by Justice Yahya Afridi, Chief Justice of Pakistan; Shaza Fatima Khawaja, Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication; Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Chairman, National Judicial Automation Committee (NJAC); Justice Shahid Waheed, Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb and Zarrar Hasham Khan, Federal Secretary, Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication.
The MoU was signed by the Secretary, Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan, and the Chief Executive Officer, NITB.
The agreement provides for the joint development of an Analytical Dashboard for the Judiciary—a digital platform that will consolidate judicial data, integrate information from across the justice sector, and incorporate monitoring parameters of the National Judicial (Policy Making) Committee (NJPMC).
The dashboard will allow real-time tracking of case disposal rates, backlog trends, and institutional efficiency, supporting evidence-based policy making, performance-driven reforms, and enhanced transparency.
Following the signing, the E-Office system was formally launched in the Supreme Court of Pakistan, marking another significant step toward digitalization.
The system will digitize all file movement and office work, while a dedicated case management system for the Judges of the Supreme Court will soon be introduced.
Together, these initiatives herald the shift towards a more efficient, paperless, and technology-driven judicial process.
These reforms represent a major stride in the digital transformation of Pakistan’s justice system.
