Yet despite these odds, 5264 cases were decided while 6017 were instituted during this period, thereby increasing the pendency from 5636 cases at the end of November, 2019 to 6237 at the end of May, 2020.

He further gave out that establishment of Child Protection Courts was a pioneering initiative of the Peshawar High Court under which the Courts were piloted at three Divisional Headquarters i.e. Peshawar, Abbottabad and Mardan. The facility then was extended to other places and currently existed at all the seven Divisional Headquarters. During the 2nd and 3rd quarters, 386 cases were instituted in the Courts of pilot phase, 186 cases were transferred from other Courts out of which 396 cases were concluded leaving a balance of 777 cases by the end of May 2020.
