The new judicial complex consists of 30 courtrooms, barrooms, mosques, cafeterias and more than 192 offices of lawyers.

The complex has a covered area of 61-Kanal. The construction of the new complex was formally started in 2013. It was, however, completed last year at a cost of about Rs1 billion.
