"It is of utmost importance that the Court House is made efficient, affordable, intelligent and smart through technology," said Hon. Justice Mansoor Ali Shah of Supreme Court of Pakistan at the third edition of Technology for Justice Forum (T4JF), held in Karachi where he honoured the event as the chief guest. "As far as my time on the bench is concerned there is one single objective - a case that starts at the trial court must end in the Supreme Court in maximum six months or maybe one year in the initial phase," he added.
The conference was aimed at promoting tech-based solutions to reform Pakistan's justice system. Founded in 2019, the T4JF has highlighted the need for enhanced cooperation and coordination between public and private sector bodies to bridge the gap between technology and justice.
