He said that the judiciary is making reforms through which justice would be given to under trial prisoners within time. There won’t be any delay or diversion as now systems are being made online.  The highest ranking judge of Punjab was grateful to the district and session judge of Rawalpindi for coming up with a system that can speed up trials. He said that using video links from Central Jail Adiala for conducting trials of the prisoner is a healthy imitative. Video calling systems like Skype would now not just speed up the whole procedure but also save extra expenses and the time of the judiciary would also be saved.
