LAHORE (Dunya News) – Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar is hearing public interest cases for the first in evening today (Saturday).
The cases are being heard at Supreme Court (SC) Lahore registry by a two-member bench.
Earlier in November, Lahore High Court Chief Justice Muhammad Anwarul Haq inaugurated the country’s first evening court in Lahore to deal with family and minors’ custody cases.
The evening court is hearing cases under the West Pakistan Family Courts Act 1964 and Guardians & Wards Act 1890 from 2pm to 7pm in winters and 4pm to 8pm in summers.
It’s a pilot project and will be extended to 36 other districts if required for expeditious decision of family cases.
