Liaquat Ali Molla, Secretary of the Law and Justice Division, said from filing applications to daily case activities, everything will now be completed online.
He added that the court aims to operate without paper, with litigants able to receive all case updates through SMS. For now, manual processes will run alongside digital functions during the transition period, he said.
