SC makes history by hearing case at Karachi registry via e-Court system
2019-05-28
[DAWN] The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday, for the first time in the judicial history of Pakistain, began hearing cases via e-Court ‐ a system based on video-link connectivity, the apex court announced in a blurb.

"Today, a three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khosa and comprising Justice Sardar Tariq Masood and Justice Mazhar Alam Khan Miankhel formally initiated the proceedings of cases through the e-Court system at principal seat Islamabad and the SC Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
registry," read the blurb.

"The advocates of Karachi, whose cases were fixed for hearing at the SC Karachi registry, argued their cases through a video-link and the bench at principal seat heard and decided the cases."

The chief justice, while hearing the first case through the technology, remarked that a big milestone had been achieved in the judicial history of Pakistain.

"The facility will benefit lawyers and litigants to save them time and money," the apex court said.

Jurists are of the view that by enhancing access to the apex court’s principal seat, the e-Court facility will discourage adjournments and encourage the legal fraternity to plead their cases without delays.
