The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has moved further toward digital judicial proceedings with the launch of a new Smart Paperless Digital Court.
The facility was inaugurated in Courtroom No. 1 during a ceremony attended by IHC Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar, other judges and distinguished guests.
Justice Aamer Farooq of the Federal Constitutional Court also attended the inauguration ceremony.
IHC Launches Smart Paperless Digital Court
The Smart Paperless Digital Court forms part of the IHC’s efforts to modernize judicial proceedings and reduce dependence on physical documents.
The new facility is designed to shift more judicial work toward digital platforms. As a result, court records and proceedings can be handled through a more digitally focused system.
The project was completed by the IHC Registrar’s Office, while the court’s IT Department developed the digital system.
The system was developed under the supervision of Umar Rashid Dar and on the instructions of the Chief Justice.
How Will the Digital Court Change Judicial Work?
The paperless facility is expected to support more efficient handling of court records and proceedings.
Instead of relying heavily on physical documents, the initiative moves judicial work toward digital systems.
This shift could make it easier for the court to manage records and proceedings through digital platforms. It also reflects the IHC’s wider effort to modernize its judicial processes.
The inauguration therefore marks another step in the court’s ongoing move toward greater digitalization.
Pakistan’s Courts Expand Digital Services
The development at the Islamabad High Court comes as Pakistan’s superior courts continue expanding their digital services.
Earlier, the Supreme Court of Pakistan signed an agreement with the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).
The agreement covered hosting, backend infrastructure, technical support and maintenance for the Supreme Court’s website and mobile application.
These digital platforms provide access to cause lists, judgments and other authorized judicial information.
Consequently, lawyers, litigants and members of the public can access important court information through digital platforms.
The launch of the Smart Paperless Digital Court adds another development to this broader shift toward digital judicial services.
For the IHC, the initiative represents a move away from reliance on physical documents and toward more digitally managed court proceedings.
