ISLAMABAD: As part of the ongoing judicial reforms aimed at improving service delivery and broadening access to justice, the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP), Justice Yahya Afridi, presided over a key session on Monday at the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
The session was attended by Mohammad Aurangzeb Khan, a representative of the Supreme Court Bar Association; Muhammad Salim Khan, Registrar, Supreme Court; Sher Shah, a distinguished development expert, and other core team members.
The session’s agenda centered on reviewing progress in pivotal reform areas, including advancements in IT infrastructure, case management improvements, human resource optimization, capacity building, training programs, and the establishment of feedback mechanisms to engage stakeholders, including the general public.
The chief justice emphasized that these reforms aim to bring transformative changes across all levels of the judiciary, beginning with the Supreme Court and extending to lower courts.
Acknowledging the vital role of inclusivity and collaboration, he highlighted the importance of gathering feedback from diverse stakeholders—judges, lawyers, litigants, and citizens.
As part of the reform initiatives, the CP was briefed on the recently launched “Online Feedback Form – Stakeholders’ Engagement for Judicial Reform,” now available on the Supreme Court’s official website. This platform invites public suggestions to enhance service delivery and public engagement. The form can be accessed through https://scp.gov.pk/Feedback.aspx.
CJP expressed satisfaction with the progress made in the reform domains and commended the team for their dedication and efforts in driving these initiatives forward. The session concluded with a renewed commitment to fostering an inclusive, efficient, and transparent justice system.
