ISLAMABAD: The Chief Justice of Pakistan, in his capacity as Chairman of the Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan (LJCP), chaired a high-level meeting in Peshawar to review and accelerate initiatives aimed at strengthening judicial infrastructure and improving public facilitation in underserved and remote districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
According to a press note released here Friday evening, the meeting was attended by the Chief Justice of the Peshawar High Court, the Chief Secretary Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Secretaries of Finance, Planning and Development, and Law of the provincial government, along with the Secretary of the Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan.
Expressing serious concern over inadequate judicial infrastructure in far-flung areas, the Chief Justice of Pakistan stressed the need for targeted, citizen-centric interventions to bridge regional disparities in access to justice. He underscored that future judicial facilities must go beyond traditional courtrooms and include modern facilitation centres, with particular emphasis on gender-responsive and women-friendly infrastructure.
