Islamabad, 21 October 2025 — In a landmark move to modernize Pakistan’s judicial system, the Supreme Court has officially launched a comprehensive digital facilitation portal aimed at improving public access to legal information and services. The initiative marks a significant step toward transparency, efficiency, and citizen empowerment within the country’s justice framework.
Justice Services Now Just a Click Away
Developed under the guidance of the Chief Justice of Pakistan, the portal is now live on the Supreme Court’s official website under the section titled “Public Portal.” It enables individuals across the country to remotely access case details, file complaints, and monitor the progress of various legal applications—eliminating the need for in-person visits to court premises.
Search by Name, Case Number, or Petition Type
The platform offers multiple search options, allowing users to look up cases by name, case number, or petition category. Citizens can track the status of their applications, including requests for early hearings, adjournments, and video link petitions. This functionality is especially beneficial for those living in remote areas or facing mobility challenges, as it brings the court’s services directly to their fingertips.
1818 Helpline and FAQs Simplify Legal Access
To further enhance accessibility, the Supreme Court has integrated the 1818 Helpline into the portal, providing direct communication channels for procedural guidance and support. A detailed FAQ section also helps users understand filing procedures, legal terminology, and court protocols—particularly useful for individuals without legal representation.
Overseas Litigants Get Dedicated Support
Recognizing the needs of Pakistanis living abroad, the portal includes a dedicated Overseas Litigants section. This feature allows expatriates to communicate with the court, track their cases, and submit relevant documentation online, ensuring they remain connected to the judicial process regardless of geographic distance.
Secure Anti-Corruption Reporting Now Online
In addition to case tracking and communication tools, the portal features a secure Anti-Corruption Reporting mechanism. This allows users to confidentially report misconduct, unethical practices, or procedural violations within the judicial system, reinforcing accountability and institutional integrity.
A Digital Leap Toward Judicial Transparency
Officials involved in the project described the portal as a transformative leap toward digital justice. By streamlining access to legal services and reducing bureaucratic hurdles, the Supreme Court aims to foster greater public trust and participation in the judicial process. The initiative is expected to significantly reduce foot traffic at court buildings, minimize delays, and empower citizens to engage with the legal system more confidently and efficiently.
Reform That Aligns With Global Best Practices
Legal experts and civil society advocates have welcomed the move, noting that digitization of judicial services aligns with global best practices and reflects Pakistan’s commitment to reform and modernization. As the portal gains traction, it is likely to serve as a model for other institutions seeking to improve public service delivery through technology.
With this launch, the Supreme Court of Pakistan has taken a decisive step toward making justice more accessible, transparent, and responsive to the needs of the people—both at home and abroad.
