(MENAFN- Tribal News Network) Dera Ismail Khan: In a major move towards embracing modern technology for judicial efficiency, the Dera Bench of the Peshawar High Court has officially launched an SMS and email service to provide timely case updates to lawyers and litigants.

This initiative was introduced on the special directives of Chief Justice S.M. Atiq Shah and is being overseen by Justice Inamullah Khan.

According to Additional Registrar Usman Wali Khan, the primary objective of the new service is to deliver accurate and timely case-related information to individuals visiting the court.

The system is expected to enhance both transparency and convenience in court proceedings.
