The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication, through its attached department, the National Information Technology Board (NITB), has taken a significant step towards the digital transformation of Pakistan’s judiciary. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan (LJCP) and NITB, followed by the formal launch of the E-Office system in the Supreme Court.
The event was attended by Hon’ble Chief Justice of Pakistan Mr. Justice Yahya Afridi; Federal Minister for IT and Telecommunication Ms. Shaza Fatima Khawaja; Hon’ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Chairman National Judicial Automation Committee (NJAC); Hon’ble Mr. Justice Shahid Waheed; Hon’ble Mr. Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb; and Federal Secretary IT Mr. Zarrar Hasham Khan. Hon’ble Mr. Justice Ali Baqar Najafi joined virtually from Lahore.
The MoU was signed by the Secretary LJCP and CEO NITB, paving the way for the development of an Analytical Dashboard for the Judiciary. This platform will consolidate judicial data, integrate information across the justice sector, and enable real-time tracking of case disposal, backlog trends, and institutional performance, thereby strengthening transparency and evidence-based reforms.
Following the signing, the E-Office system was officially launched at the Supreme Court, digitizing file movement and office work. A dedicated case management system for Hon’ble Judges will also be introduced soon, advancing efficiency and paperless operations.
Federal Minister for IT and Telecommunication, Ms. Shaza Fatima Khawaja, reaffirmed the Ministry’s support:
“These initiatives reflect our commitment to building a transparent, efficient, and technology-driven justice system. The Ministry of IT & Telecom will continue to drive the Prime Minister’s Digital Nation Pakistan vision across all sectors, including the judiciary.”
