LAHORE, Dec 01 (APP):In line with the directives of the Chief Justice of Pakistan and the decisions taken during the 53rd session of the National Judicial Policy Making Committee (NJPMC), an Information Technology (IT) delegation representing high courts across the country visited the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday.
The delegation included IT representatives from the Sindh High Court, Balochistan High Court, and Islamabad High Court, while the Peshawar High Court joined the proceedings via video link. LHC Registrar Amjad Iqbal Ranjha welcomed the participants, accompanied by Director General Judicial and Case Management, Javed Iqbal Bosal.
The visiting officials were given a detailed briefing by the Additional Registrar of the LHC IT Wing on the court’s extensive range of technology-driven initiatives. The presentation’s key highlight was the Integrated Criminal Justice System (ICJS), a landmark project linking all major components of the criminal justice system — including Police, Prosecution, Probation and Parole, Prisons, Forensic Agencies, and Medico-Legal Departments — with the District Judiciary. The project aims to streamline processes and enhance transparency, marking a transformative step toward efficient justice delivery.
Other digital systems showcased during the briefing included the Case Flow Management System (CFMS), Cause List Color Management, Case Proceedings Display System, Postal Processing System, and the Human Resource Management System (HRMS). Notable HRMS features presented were facial-recognition-based attendance through a mobile app, centralized employee profile management, digital records management, an HRMIS Leave Module, digitally processed judicial transactions, mobile-based barcode file tracking, and biometric verification for surety bond deposits.
The delegation was also briefed on additional IT developments such as LHC Employee Card software, recent website upgrades, a newly introduced Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) section on the court’s website, enhancements to the LHC Job Portal, the Storage and Stock Inventory Management System, the public complaints portal, and the Performance Monitoring System.
The visiting officials praised the LHC’s progressive technological reforms and underscored the importance of adopting modern IT solutions across all High Courts. They emphasized that digital data governance, accountability, and improved public access to justice are essential to strengthening Pakistan’s judicial system in the modern era.
