LHC introduces biometric case filing to prevent false litigation

The Lahore High Court (LHC) has implemented a biometric verification system for case filings in the district judiciary, aiming to curb the submission of fraudulent cases. Chief Justice Aalia Neelum announced this initiative during a meeting with representatives from district and tehsil bar associations.​

Under the new system, petitioners are required to undergo biometric verification before filing a case. A person suing can complete biometric authentication and ensure the truthfulness of court procedures if they are able to come in to sign documents, Justice Neelum stressed. ​

Additionally, the daily cause list is now accessible through the LHC mobile application, allowing lawyers and litigants to view real-time updates on case hearings. Plans are also underway to install LED screens outside courtrooms to display live cause lists, enhancing transparency and convenience.​

This move aligns with directives from the Supreme Court and has been well-received by legal professionals committed to merit-based practices. Justice Neelum reaffirmed the LHC’s dedication to modernizing judicial processes to deliver swift and quality justice.​
