The Supreme Court of Pakistan has launched a new Public Facilitation Portal, a digital initiative designed to improve accessibility, transparency, and efficiency within the judicial system.
According to an official statement, the online platform aims to provide citizens with direct access to essential court information, case statuses, and procedural details without the need for in-person visits. The move marks a significant step toward modernizing Pakistan’s judicial infrastructure and strengthening public trust in the legal process.
Officials from the Supreme Court emphasized that the new portal is part of a broader vision to make the justice system more citizen-friendly and transparent. It allows users to track their cases, verify hearing schedules, and access important judgments from the comfort of their homes.
The digital interface has been developed with a focus on simplicity and inclusivity, ensuring that citizens from all backgrounds can easily navigate the system. Authorities believe this innovation will reduce bureaucratic delays and minimize unnecessary foot traffic in court offices.
A senior court representative noted that this initiative reflects the judiciary’s ongoing commitment to improving public engagement and ensuring that justice remains both accessible and efficient. “This portal is a step toward an open and accountable judicial system that serves the people directly,” the official said.
Legal experts have praised the effort, describing it as a milestone in Pakistan’s digital transformation journey. They believe the platform will enhance transparency and foster better communication between the courts and the public.
The initiative also complements ongoing government discussions about strengthening rule of law and improving state governance. Recently, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif called for a firm state policy to address growing internal challenges, including the potential ban on certain organizations, emphasizing that strong governance must go hand in hand with accountability and justice. His statement aligns with the judiciary’s move toward greater transparency and responsible administration.
By integrating digital technology into the judicial framework, the Supreme Court aims to make legal information more accessible to citizens while promoting a culture of openness and efficiency. The portal’s launch is expected to pave the way for further technological reforms in Pakistan’s legal institutions.
