Lahore High Court Chief Justice Aalia Neelum inaugurated three digital systems on Tuesday to modernise Punjab’s judicial and financial management. The initiative aims to reduce manual processes, prevent fraud, and improve public trust in courts. Officials called it a historic step towards automation and transparency in the provincial judiciary.
The first system, the Civil Courts Accounts Management System, links payments, fines, and judicial fees with the National Bank and Case Management System. Challan forms now generate automatically with unique PSIDs, ensuring every payment is verifiable. Judicial officers have defined online access to issue payment orders, and future plans include integration with the Accountant General’s Office.

The second system, the Judicial Deposits and Securities Management System, tracks funds and securities deposited under court orders. By digitising these records, the Banking and Funds Management Wing can monitor accounts accurately, reduce human error, and maintain transparent court financial data. The platform strengthens oversight and accountability in judicial fund management.
The third platform, the Inventory Management System, automates tracking of court assets and stored supplies. It monitors the lifecycle of government property, issues alerts for expiry or waste, and ensures compliance with standard operating procedures. Officials said it prevents misuse of resources and maintains accurate functional and obsolete stock records.

She praised the IT wing and partner institutions for developing the systems and said automation aligns the judiciary with international standards.
