PESHAWAR: In order to facilitate litigants and their counsels, the Peshawar High Court (PHC) has brought public interface sections (Institution and Copying branch) near the entrance gate of PHC Complex.
An official communiqué on Wednesday said the process of institution and copying has also been digitalised. These steps are taken to expedite the entire process, which was earlier carried out manually having many loopholes and was time consuming. “Under the newly installed automated system, now the litigant/counsel only provides one original copy, one photocopy and one soft copy of the petition along with his/her contact number and email at Institution Branch to initiate process,” it said, adding, upon receiving the petition, a case entry number is given to litigant and the petition is sent to the Fixation Branch for further scrutiny.
The Fixation Branch responds the litigant about result of scrutiny within 24 hours through SMS alert in either case of petition acceptance for hearing or return of incomplete file to Institution Branch with objections to be removed.
