Review of the first Plan and situation analysis, publication made by the Supreme Court and its
subordinate courts and other judicial bodies and information and data obtained from those bodies
and internal study reports made by the Supreme Court have formed the basis of the study. On the
basis of the review and situation analysis, strategic interventions and work plans have been

the core functions, strategic interventions have been determined and a work plan has been
formulated for its effective implementation.
