The Supreme Court of Pakistan and NADRA have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at strengthening the court’s website, mobile application, and other digital services available to the public. The agreement was formally signed by the Registrar of the Supreme Court and NADRA’s Chief Projects Officer, establishing a working relationship between the two institutions on the technical side of the court’s digital infrastructure.
Under the terms of the agreement, NADRA will provide hosting, back end infrastructure, and technical support for the Supreme Court’s website and mobile application, taking on responsibilities that go beyond a one time setup and extend into ongoing maintenance of the court’s digital platforms. NADRA will also help implement any approved upgrades to these platforms going forward, giving the court access to more consistent technical expertise as it continues to modernize the way it delivers services online. The overall goal of the collaboration is to make the Supreme Court’s digital services more reliable and effective for the citizens, lawyers, and other stakeholders who rely on them for information and communication with the court system.
The upgraded digital platforms are expected to make it considerably easier for citizens and lawyers to access judicial information without needing to rely on physical visits to court offices. Once the improvements are in place, users should have better access to cause lists, court decisions, and other authorised information directly through the Supreme Court’s website and mobile app, reducing the friction that has historically come with retrieving such information through in person channels. This shift toward more accessible digital information reflects the broader pattern already visible across other government institutions in Pakistan, several of which have moved various citizen facing services online in recent months as part of ongoing digitization efforts.
Alongside the improvements to the website and mobile application, NADRA will also continue providing technical support for the Supreme Court’s 1818 helpline, ensuring that citizens who prefer or need to reach the court through phone based channels continue to have access to a functioning support system. Officials described the overall agreement as part of a broader effort to strengthen the court’s digital infrastructure while improving public access to judicial services more generally, adding to a growing list of collaborations between NADRA and various government and judicial institutions aimed at expanding the reach and reliability of digital public services across the country.
