ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) has decided around 16,000 cases during the year 2025.

According to the official data, Justice Raja Inaame Ameen Minhas decided highest number of cases.

His single bench disposal is 2039 while in the Division Bench (DB) his decided cases exceeded to 500.

Justice Mohammad Azam Khan decided 1841 cases in the single bench and in the DB his disposal is around 600 cases.

The judges were seen as litigants in the Supreme Court and in the case of Justice Jahangiri, two judges went to the Sindh High Court and attended the hearing as common litigants.

Interestingly, the additional judges of the IHC decided the highest number of cases.

During the year 2024, IHC judges decided 10,571 cases in their respective single benches and 1803 in the DBs. In 2023, the total cases decided by these judges were 11,170.
