In a significant development, Lahore High Court Chief Justice Alia Neelum has emphasized the necessity of collaboration between the bar and the bench to ensure timely and transparent justice. During a recent meeting with delegations from various district and tehsil bar associations, she stated, "Providing timely and transparent justice to the litigants requires collective efforts of the bar and the bench." The discussions focused on addressing the challenges faced by lawyers, improving court facilities, and expediting case resolutions. Notably, the Lahore High Court resolved over 166,000 cases in 2025, a testament to the reforms initiated under Justice Neelum's leadership, which include the integration of technology and improved infrastructure for legal practitioners, particularly female lawyers (Business Recorder, February 18, 2026).
