ISLAMABAD: For the first time in the history of the country, the Supreme Court of Pakistan began hearing cases through video link.
A three-member bench under Chief Justice of Pakistan Asif Saeed Khosa heard cases through the e-court system.
Utilising the system, lawyers presented their arguments from SC Karachi registry through video link.
Initially, the e-court system will be available in SC Islamabad and Karachi registry.
Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Asif Saeed Khosa remarked that the e-court system would be instrumental in dispensing swift justice at a low cost.
During the proceedings, the pre-arrest plea for bail of murder suspect Noor Mohammad was approved.
The suspect was named in a murder case in 2014 in Shadabpur, said the CJP, adding that he was not involved in the murder.
