Justice: Record rise in the number of electronic advertisements in criminal cases - Sarmad

(KUNA) – The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Justice, Awatif Al-Sand, announced that the ministry’s indicators showed a record high in the number of electronic notices in criminal cases, a shift reflecting the actual transition to an electronic notice system in criminal procedures.

Al-Sand told the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Sunday that the total number of electronic notices in criminal cases during the period from June 7 to July 9 reached approximately 27,665 notices, compared to just 12 notices during the same period in 2025.

She clarified that the statistics included 23,710 notices for criminal orders and 3,955 notices for criminal judgments, confirming the expanded use of electronic systems in this field following the launch of the electronic criminal orders project and the development of the judicial notices system.

Al-Sand emphasized that the Ministry of Justice continues to complete its digital projects aimed at streamlining procedures and accelerating the delivery of notices to concerned parties, thereby contributing to faster processing of judicial transactions and improved service quality for litigants.

It is worth noting that the new electronic notices system accounted for 94 percent of total judicial notices within one month of the Ministry of Justice launching the new system, as part of its plan to digitize the judicial system, enhance digital transformation, and deliver more efficient, faster, and reliable judicial services.
