Listen to article The Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi has emphasised that litigants are key stakeholders in the justice system and must be treated with dignity and respect. He made the remarks during a consultative meeting with senior judicial officials on improving access to justice. The chief justice underscored that reforms should not only ease case backlogs but also ensure timely and effective justice. The meeting, attended by top officials including Supreme Court Registrar Muhammad Saleem Khan and Federal Judicial Academy Director General, reviewed ongoing judicial reforms and digitalisation efforts. Discussions highlighted progress in digital case filing, transparency, and accountability. The IT Directorate briefed participants on integrating new technologies to make judicial processes more efficient. A statement from the meeting noted that enhancing accessibility and efficiency remains a top priority.
