The website of the Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan (LJCP), the country’s top body responsible for overseeing the legal system, has been found lacking statistics on pending cases in courts nationwide, reported Dawn on Saturday.
Typically, the LJCP’s website provides access to data on pending cases. However, the information appears to have been removed recently, leaving many questioning the decision.
A senior LJCP official clarified that the website is undergoing an upgrade and is being revamped by the Punjab Information Technology Board. When asked about the absence of specific details on pending cases while other data remained accessible, the official attributed it to a technical matter, offering assurances that the information will be updated once the website revamp is completed.
Meanwhile, the judiciary faces criticism for a massive backlog of cases, which has now surpassed two million in both superior and lower courts, but the official denied the website issue was connected to the matter.
