On July 25, 2025, Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Yahya Afridi presented a plan to enhance the district judiciary, describing it as the “most precious jewel” in Pakistan’s judicial system. During a symposium on Judicial Wellbeing at the Federal Judicial Academy, Afridi emphasised the importance of shielding judges from external pressures by providing them with institutional support.

Afridi envisioned a future where citizens feel confident seeking justice in their local courts. He expressed, “My dream is for an aggrieved citizen to approach a magistrate or civil court in their town.” Afridi emphasised the importance of supporting district judges to ensure fair and responsive justice. The National Judicial Policy Making Committee (NJPMC), which he leads, has adopted reforms, including guidelines for high courts to protect judges from external influences.

CJP Afridi’s Key Reform Initiatives

  1. Institutional Support: Afridi invited high court chief justices to integrate the CJP’s role in protecting judges, declaring: “I will stand to support honest judicial officers.”
  2. Arbitration Institutionalisation: Twenty trained judges will implement arbitration in one district per high court jurisdiction, with a review after three months.
  3. AI Integration: The NJPMC is developing ethical AI guidelines for justice delivery, with collaborations planned with China and Türkiye’s supreme courts.
  4. Performance and Recruitment: A committee, led by retired Justice Rehmat Hussain Jaffery, will standardise judge evaluations and recruitment, ensuring parity and international exposure.

Afridi urged district judges to uphold diligence, empathy, and humility, noting: “These standards honour their role, vital to the nation.” The Supreme Judicial Council is addressing external pressures to ensure the safeguarding of judicial independence.

The event, marking International Day for Judicial Wellbeing, gathered judges, legal experts, and stakeholders. Afridi highlighted emotional and psychological pressures on district judges, advocating for humanised reforms. Social media on X praised his vision, with posts like: “CJP’s plan strengthens justice for all.”

These reforms align with Pakistan’s push for transparency, seen in initiatives like FBR’s Rs1.02 trillion tax collection. Empowering local courts could reduce Supreme Court burdens and enhance public trust.
