Developed by Gallup Pakistan Digital Analytics | Data Source: ihc.gov.pk


📌 What Is This Dashboard?

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Analytics Dashboard is a state-of-the-art judicial intelligence platform built on data scraped from the official Islamabad High Court portal. Designed specifically for the federal capital’s judicial landscape, this platform transforms complex, raw cause lists and case data into actionable, visual insights. It serves as a powerful tool for lawyers, litigants, legal researchers, and court administrators to monitor case flows, judge workloads, and pendency trends in the federal jurisdiction.


🔑 Key Capabilities

1. Executive Overview

  • Real-time snapshot of total pending and scheduled cases, active Hon’ble Judges, and total daily listings.

  • Interactive timelines showing daily case volume trends with moving averages to detect peak litigation days.

  • Broad breakdown of cause lists (e.g., Main Cause List, Supplementary Cause List, and Urgent Lists).

2. Daily Cause List & Roster

  • Dynamic filters to search hearings by specific dates, specific Benches (Single Bench, Division Bench, Larger Bench), and Courtrooms.

  • Real-time tracking of daily rosters, allowing users to see exactly which justice is presiding over which cases on any given day.

  • Comprehensive data tables featuring Case Numbers, Titles (Petitioner vs. Respondent), Advocate names, and Case Categories.

3. Hon’ble Judges / Justice Analysis

  • Tracking of “Stay Orders” and interim relief frequencies across different categories.

5. Advocate & Legal Firm Intelligence

6. Advanced Case Search & Analytics

  • Global search bar allowing users to query by Case Number, Party Name, Advocate, or specific IHC Justice.

  • Automatic flagging of high-priority or long-standing cases that have crossed specific pendency thresholds.
