The Supreme Court of Pakistan has launched a new Public Facilitation Portal to make judicial information and services more accessible to citizens, according to an official statement.
The portal, available on the court’s official website, allows users to check case details, track the status of applications, and submit complaints online.

Citizens can track early hearing requests, adjournments, and video-link appearance requests through the Application Status section. For direct assistance, the court's 1818 helpline is available for the people.
A special Overseas Portal has also been created to help Pakistanis access their court hearings from abroad.
In addition, a Feedback Portal is designed to facilitate public participation, while the Anti-Corruption Reporting Mechanism allows citizens to file complaints confidentially.
The electronic development initiative follows Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi's announcement in September regarding the modernisation of court processes to facilitate access for the common citizen.
In October, the Supreme Court held an event on E-Office, and it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan (LJCP) and the National Information Technology Board (NITB).
In addition, the court announced case information and certified copies of judgements will be available online. Records will be kept in electronic form so they can be viewed easily and maintained for accountability.
“This initiative reflects the judiciary’s commitment to ensuring that access to justice is not hindered by distance and that overseas litigants can effectively pursue their rights before the Supreme Court of Pakistan,” the statement concluded.
