ISLAMABAD: Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah on Wednesday observed that science and technology should be welcomed as they hugely help improve and bring more transparency to the system of justice.
“Hundreds of convictions got overturned because of the DNA forensics and in Punjab monitoring through cameras improved the efficiency of district courts,” observed Justice Shah, one of the members of a 10-judge Supreme Court bench.
The observation came against the backdrop of an application moved by Justice Qazi Faez Isa before the Supreme Court, seeking live streaming of the court proceedings which, according to the petitioner judge, would bring more transparency and discipline in the court’s conduct.
