LAHORE, APRIL 25 (ONLINE): Ban has been imposed on filing any case in subordinate courts in Punjab without biometric or picture of the plaintiff or applicant.
Chief Justice (CJ) Lahore High Court (LHC) Aalia Neelum has launched historical project for prevention of fake and unnecessary cases in subordinate courts of Punjab.
CJ LHC Aalia Neelum has issued letter to session judges all over Punjab following the approval by administrative committee of LHC wherein new SOPs for filing cases were set.
As per SOPs the plaintiff or applicant will have to come to court by himself for filing cases in subordinate courts all over Punjab. Biometric verification of the plaintiff or applicant will be conducted at special counter and the picture of the plaintiff or applicant can be taken through web camera.
This picture will be printed on the first page of the case of the applicant. Later any applicant will be able to file case.
Earlier copy of identity card of the applicant was used in filing the case and case was filed. This led to multiply number of bogus cases.
CJ LHC Aalia Neelum took action in the regard and imposed ban on the diary of cases of the applicants who don’t come and don’t get conduct bio metric.
Vice chairman Punjab Bar Council Irfan Siddique Tarar, legal expert Shahid Nazir and others have paid tribute to CJ LHC Aalia Neelum for taking this step saying such steps will not only stop practice of filing bogus cases but will also lessen the burden of cases on the courts.
