Rawalpindi district judiciary goes online
The Rawalpindi district judiciary has fully digitised its judicial system, making all court proceedings available online.
Now, all cases scheduled before the 25 Additional District and Sessions Judges and 75 Civil and Family Judges in Rawalpindi can be accessed by lawyers and litigants from their homes.
Punjab's district judiciary has launched a dedicated mobile application called District Judiciary Punjab, which includes details of courts across all 43 districts of the province.
Through this app, lawyers, litigants, and even accused individuals can check case proceedings by entering the judge's name or the case number.
The app updates daily with information on bail applications, case hearings, and new dates.
The Supreme Court Chief Justice, Lahore High Court Chief Justice, and overseas Pakistani litigants can also monitor judicial proceedings through the platform.
Sardar Manzar Bashir, President of the District Bar, and Supreme Court Advocate Shanzeib Khan hailed this as a "digital revolution" in the subordinate judiciary.
They noted that this initiative eliminates the need to rely on court staff for case updates, making the legal system more transparent and accessible. The app also includes case data from Rawalpindi's sub-divisional courts in Gujar Khan, Taxila, Kallar Syedan, Murree, Kahuta, and Kotli Sattian.

Erdogan tells Putin Turkiye backs Ukraine peace talks involving ‘all parties': presidency
ISTANBUL: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday informed his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin by phone that Turkiye would support a process involving 'all parties' for peace in Ukraine, the Turkish presidency said. Erdogan told Putin that 'Turkiye has sincerely strived for a just peace since the beginning of the war, and in this context, supports approaches aimed at establishing lasting peace with the participation of all parties,' his office said in a statement. Turkiye, which enjoys friendly ties with both its Black Sea neighbors, has hosted three rounds of peace talks between Ukraine and Russia since May. Ankara has often insisted on the protection of Ukraine's territorial integrity while shying away from Western sanctions on Russia. US, NATO planners start to craft Ukraine security guarantee options US President Donald Trump held talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in Washington on Monday, three days after his landmark encounter with Putin in Alaska. NATO head Mark Rutte called Erdogan on Tuesday by phone on his way back to Europe after that meeting, the Turkish presidency said. The pair discussed 'Turkiye's contribution to the peace process, as one of NATO's most important countries' and agreed to remain on close coordination, according to the presidency. They also exchanged views on feasible and sustainable security guarantees, the statement said, without further elaboration.

PSX notches another record close above 150.5k
Bulls continued to maintain their firm grip over the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Wednesday as the KSE-100 index roared past 150.5k points, a historic high that came on the back of Moody's ratings upgrade for banks and encouraging corporate-sector earnings. Robust interest from local institutions in stock buying and a modest current account deficit for July also lent support to the stock market, which rose 820 points, or 0.55%, and closed the day at 150,591. 'Stocks closed at an all-time high after Moody's Ratings upgraded the local and foreign-currency long-term deposit ratings of five leading Pakistani banks to Caa1 from Caa2, following its recent decision to raise the country's sovereign rating,' commented Ahsan Mehanti of Arif Habib Corp. 'Upbeat data showing $284 million in current account deficit amid strong remittances, rising exports and rupee stability powered the market's record close,' he said. Market Snapshot – August 20, 2025 Unlock yesterday's market moves and stay one step ahead! #August20 — PSX (@pakstockexgltd) August 20, 2025 Topline Securities, in its report, said bulls showed no signs of fatigue at the local bourse, storming ahead to notch the intra-day record high of 1,490 points before settling at 150,591, up 820 points (+0.55%). The upward momentum was underpinned by better-than-expected corporate earnings and a strong liquidity push from local institutions, lifting the benchmark index to uncharted heights, it said, adding that investor confidence remained buoyant as market heavyweights attracted robust flows, reinforcing the bullish undertone. The rally was largely fuelled by index heavyweights including Systems Limited, Bank AL Habib, NBP, MCB Bank and Bank Alfalah, which collectively contributed 503 points to the upward trajectory. Market participation remained robust, with traded volumes surging to 668 million shares and traded value reaching Rs40.7 billion. The Bank of Punjab led the volumes as it saw 52.3 million shares change hands during the trading session, Topline added.
