ISLAMABAD: The Sup­reme Court has rele­ased its report, “Journey Through Reform and Inn­ovation 2026”, documenting the judicial and institutional reforms undertaken between November 2024 and September 2026.

The report provides a comprehensive account of the SC’s reform efforts, highlighting progress in case management, reducing the backlog of pending cases, digital transformation, institutional accountability and public access to justice.

It documents the implementation of an 86-point reform action plan, supported by a structured governance mechanism, dedicated working groups and regular reviews of reform initiatives.

The report also records measurable progress in judicial performance, including a substantial increase in case disposals, greater focus on long-pending cases, expanded digital services and stronger data-driven performance monitoring.

It also highlights key national initiatives adva­nced through the National Judicial (Policy Making) Committee, including time-bound disposal of prioritised cases, establishment of model trial courts, responsible use of artificial intelligence and the development of judicial analytics.
