KARACHI: A launching ceremony of two transformative digital initiatives was held on the premises of the Sindh High Court on Saturday with a view to modernising judicial administration and enhancing access to justice for all.

According to a statement issued by the SHC, the LRC-Assistant (AI enabled Search Engine) and Mobile App (CFMS) on iOS Platform were developed in-house by the IT department of the SHC.
