SC releases report on judicial reforms and institutional innovation

The Supreme Court of Pakistan has released a report titled "Journey Through Reform and Innovation 2026", detailing judicial and institutional reforms from November 2024 to September 2026. According to the report, progress has been made in judicial reforms, case management, and reducing the backlog of pending cases.

The report highlights the implementation of an 86-point Reform Action Plan, which was supported by a structured governance mechanism, dedicated working groups, and regular reviews of reform initiatives. This plan led to a substantial increase in case disposals, a greater focus on long-pending cases, expanded digital services, and stronger data-driven performance monitoring.

The Supreme Court's reform efforts also included modernising judicial procedures, improving access to court services, and strengthening institutional collaboration. Key national initiatives were advanced through the National Judicial (Policy Making) Committee, including time-bound disposal of prioritised cases, establishment of Model Trial Courts, responsible use of artificial intelligence, and the development of judicial analytics, as per Dawn.
