In a significant move to modernize judicial infrastructure, the District Courts in Mohmand have officially launched a state-of-the-art electronic library. This initiative marks a pivotal step towards enhancing legal research and accessibility for the region's legal community.
A Digital Leap for Legal Professionals
The newly inaugurated e-library was formally opened by Justice Syed Arshad Ali, a esteemed judge from the Peshawar High Court (PHC). The ceremony, held on Friday, January 9, 2026, was attended by a host of prominent figures, including District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Ayaz Khan, Senior Civil Judge Muhammad Ayaz, and other judicial officers and members of the local bar association.
This facility is designed to provide lawyers, judges, and legal scholars with instant access to a vast digital repository of legal materials. The resources include comprehensive law journals, updated legal texts, and crucial judicial precedents, all available at the click of a button.
Modernizing Justice in the Tribal District
The establishment of the e-library directly addresses a long-standing need for modern research tools within the Mohmand district's legal framework. Justice Syed Arshad Ali, during his address, underscored the critical importance of such digital resources. He emphasized that easy access to legal knowledge is fundamental for the effective and timely delivery of justice.
The project aligns with the broader Digital Pakistan vision and specific judicial reforms aimed at leveraging technology to improve court services. By moving away from reliance solely on physical law books, the system promises to make legal research more efficient, cost-effective, and comprehensive.
Impact and Future Prospects
The immediate beneficiaries of this initiative are the practicing lawyers and judges in Mohmand, who can now prepare their cases with support from a robust digital library. This is expected to streamline court proceedings and contribute to higher-quality legal arguments and judgments.
District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Ayaz Khan expressed his gratitude to the Peshawar High Court for its support in making this project a reality. The local bar members also welcomed the development, highlighting its potential to bridge the resource gap between urban and regional legal practices.
This inauguration sets a precedent for other district courts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and beyond, showcasing a practical model for judicial digitization. It represents a concrete step towards creating a more equitable, informed, and modern legal system accessible to all stakeholders in the region.
