LAHORE, Jan 21 (APP):The district judiciary of Punjab secured a landmark achievement in 2025 by deciding more than 3.88 million cases, reflecting a significant improvement in judicial efficiency and case management.
According to official figures, the milestone was achieved under the leadership of Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice Miss Aalia Neelum, and in line with timelines set by the National Judicial (Policy Making) Committee. Enhanced case management, institutional reforms, and the introduction of modern judicial practices played a key role in accelerating the disposal of cases across the province, says a LHC pressure release issued here on Wednesday.
Statistics show that civil courts across Punjab decided over 2.91 million cases during the year, while 2.857 million new civil cases were instituted. Sessions courts disposed of more than 0.969 million cases, compared to 0.938 million new cases filed in 2025. As a result, the overall pendency in civil and sessions courts dropped to 1.442 million cases, marking a net reduction of over 56,000 cases compared to the previous year.
Commending the performance of the district judiciary, Chief Justice Aalia Neelum said that transparency and timely justice for litigants remain the judiciary’s top priorities. She noted that automation, digital reforms, and the effective use of information technology have substantially improved the pace of case disposal.
In compliance with the directives of the National Judicial (Policy Making) Committee, district courts strictly adhered to prescribed timelines under the supervision of the LHC. Lawyers and litigants across Punjab have welcomed the record number of case disposals, describing it as a positive and significant development that has expedited justice delivery and strengthened public confidence in the judicial system.
