INAUGURATED: District and sessions judge Shahnaz Hameed Khattak inaugurated the “Copies Branch” at the tehsil judicial complex in Ghazi here on Thursday.

She told participants that the branch was opened to enable litigants to collect digitally scanned copies of their applications on the premises of the judicial complex.

The judge said Ghazi was the only tehsil to have the “Copies Branch” to save the time and money of litigants.

She said the facility of statement recording by witnesses via video link was already available to people in Ghazi. “Witnesses can record statements with the court not only from anywhere in the country but abroad, too,” she said.

About the expansion of the judicial complex, the judge said the required piece of land had been acquired and the construction would begin after the provision of funds.

She also said the establishment of the record room (muhafiz khana) in the tehsil was under consideration. “On the directives of the superior courts, efforts are afoot to ensure the provision of all possible facilities to visitors to the judicial complex to further the cause of justice,” she said.
