He said that the academy was working under a strong board and its success is the success for everyone.

He said that the academy brings together judges from different provinces and regions on a single platform where they can share their experiences and ideas with each other.
He further stated that he feels satisfied by seeing the use of modern technology in the judicial academy.
The top judge said that live coverage of the hearings of the cases gives the viewers, especially the students, an opportunity to learn, the top judge said while commending the live hearing of the Supreme Court Practice and Procedure Act case.
