PESHAWAR:
Mobile Courts in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa passed their first verdict on Tuesday, Express News reported.
Currently, the mobile courts are hearing six civil cases and 24 criminal cases.
The first verdict was given on a civil case in Hayatabad, Peshawar. A dispute of Rs0.6 million was resolved after both the sides reached a mutual agreement.
DG Judicial Academy Hayat Ali Shah and District and Session Judge Shabbir Khan told the media that the aim of these mobile courts is to provide the people with a speedy and inexpensive justice. If this experiment is successful, more mobiles will be summoned.
Mobile courts will conduct court proceedings of civil cases before the people.
Peshawar High Court (PHC) Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan had proposed the project nearly two years ago to provide quick justice for litigants who could not afford to travel to courts in other cities.
The plan was meant to resolve petty civil disputes and criminal cases at the earliest and at involved parties’ doorsteps – speedy justice at a low cost.
A project which was initially meant to be kick started in 2012 was finally inaugurated by PHC Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan in July 2013.
The travelling court is equipped with a solar energy generation system and has been prepared at a cost of Rs15 million.
