The National Judicial Automation Committee (NJAC) convened a meeting to deliberate on the implementation strategy for e-filing of cases in Pakistan's judicial system. The meeting, chaired by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Yahya Afridi, included representatives from the Supreme Court, Islamabad High Court, and various stakeholders.
NJAC members discussed the proposed standard template for digital filing, aiming for a uniform approach across provinces and the Islamabad Capital Territory. The Chief Justice highlighted the pilot e-filing of family cases in selected courts, and the Committee's review of an ICUN initiative to assign unique case identities. The NJAC is tasked with refining the draft template, ensuring it aligns with the Code of Civil Procedure and is accessible to all judicial actors.
Additionally, the Committee addressed concerns over data reporting delays from Prison Departments, directing efforts to enhance real-time monitoring. The overarching goal is to streamline digital processes, secure case management, and improve judicial data accessibility.
