 There was a long-standing demand of the District Bar Associations and the public that they had to travel long distances to reach at Lahore (Principal Seat) to pursue their cases, which caused them trouble. With this initiative, the litigant public and lawyers will be able to follow the cases in the benches of the Lahore High Court nearest to their areas.

Further, Governor Punjab Muhammad Balighur Rahman also approved the re-promulgation of the Code of Criminal Procedure Amendment Ordinance 2023
