Islamabad first judicial complex to be inaugurated today

ISLAMABAD   -      The Islamabad High 
Court’s Chief Justice 
Athar Minallah will inaugurate the first judicial complex of the 
capital city at G-11 on 
Tuesday (today).
The project was started in September last 
year and was scheduled to be completed 
in May, 2022 ,but according to concerned 
officials, there are still 
some finishing work 
underway on site and it 
will further take about a 
month to complete the 
entire project. Sources 
revealed that the city 
managers wanted to 
get this project inaugurated by the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, 
but now the project is 
slated to be inaugurated by the incumbent 
IHC’s chief justice. It is 
pertinent to mention 
here that Islamabad 
remained without a district judicial complex 
from last many decades, 
and currently courts 
are housed in rented 
buildings within Sector 
F-8, where no proper 
facilities are available 
for both the litigants 
as well as court functionaries. bIn addition 
to the modern courtrooms, the new complex will have separate 
washrooms for men and 
women, rooms for women and young offenders, 
canteens and parking 
spaces as well. Meanwhile, another project of 
the construction of the 
building on a five-acre 
plot in sector G-10 for 
construction of lawyers/
litigants facilitation centre is also in pipeline.
