Published 2022-12-25

Abstract

Pakistan has complete its 75 years of independence and, so far, could not achieve many targets to lift the grace and status in the world. Its politics is all about individuals and influential groups benefits at the cost of coalition among the institutions of the state. During all this actions, the judiciary on many occasions became a party or victim instead of adopting a role of a mediator. It, sometimes pushed the judiciary into politics and sometime politicized the judicial actions. During Musharraf’s regime the dormant independence activated under lawyers movement. It restored the lost image of the justice system. It couldn’t stay permanently and short after that the judicial domain turned to weak status. The judicial review and administrative laws are the tools of the justice system and its proper use may ensure the ‘independence’ of it.
