According to reports, when finished, the judicial complex would hold 93 district and subordinate courts. The complex is situated in Sector G-11. As per Project Concept -1 (PC-1), the complex will comprise four multi-storey blocks. An administrative section, a lockup, a National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) verification room, and separate waiting spaces for attorneys, petitioners, and media would be housed in the four blocks. The former judicial complex in Sector F-8 will be removed when the reconstruction is completed in May since the courts there have been operating in rented buildings with no infrastructure. It was also revealed that the judicial complex was conceived and built in collaboration with the stakeholders and members of the legal profession.
