  "account": "The government has introduced new E-Filing Rules 2026 to facilitate property-related cases for overseas Pakistanis, offering an online platform for filing petitions, submitting documents and accessing court proceedings. Overseas Pakistanis can now file applications and necessary documents electronically before special courts, without the need to physically attend every procedural step. Hearings can also be conducted via video link, allowing litigants to participate in court proceedings remotely. Electronic notifications will be sent to overseas Pakistanis, and other judicial services will be accessible via the online system. Court judgments and decrees will be uploaded to a designated online portal, enabling litigants to view them electronically. The framework also addresses the preservation of electronic evidence and the maintenance of court records in digital format. Paper filing remains an option in cases where electronic filing is not feasible. An alternative filing mechanism is provided to ensure that litigants are not denied access to courts due to technical issues in the online system. The primary objective of these new rules is to alleviate the burden of physical visits to Pakistan for overseas Pakistanis involved in property disputes and to improve their access to judicial proceedings through digital means.",
