However, on its very first day, the system completely paralysed the process of filing new cases and applications in courts. Frequent internet slowdowns, complete outages and repeated power failures shook the foundations of the new system on day one, triggering anger among litigants, women clients, and lawyers. Disputes erupted among litigants at biometric verification points, while biometric stalls and centres remained overcrowded from morning till evening. Lawyers and litigants faced severe difficulties at the Rawalpindi district courts and all tehsil courts on the first day of implementation. Under the new system, biometric verification of applicants has been made mandatory for filing family cases, bail applications, new cases, replies in pending cases, and submission of powers of attorney.
