ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Yahya Afridi emphasised the need to digitise receipt-side financial instruments through fintech-enabled solutions to facilitate litigants and other stakeholders in the digital deposit of court fees, securities, and related payments.
The CJP underscored that such initiatives should be pursued in coordination with the State Bank of Pakistan to ensure secure, standardised, and transparent financial transactions.
According to press release issued by SC PRO on Saturday, Accountant General Pakistan Revenues (AGPR) Kamran Rashid met with the Chief Justice and briefed him on key initiatives undertaken to advance digitalisation of government payments. In this context, it was apprised that the implementation of the Online Billing Solution for the Supreme Court of Pakistan has been initiated and that the system is expected to become operational within a fortnight. It is expected to significantly expedite expenditure-related payments while eliminating reliance on manual bills and cheques.
The Chief Justice appreciated the initiative taken by AGPR and assured full institutional support, observing that strengthening financial management systems at the Supreme Court of Pakistan remains among his key priorities.
