Over the last decade, the Supreme Court of Pakistan has emerged as
a powerful and overtly political institution. While the strong form
of judicial review adopted by the Supreme Court has fostered the
perception of a sudden and ahistorical judicialisation of politics,
the judiciary's prominent role in adjudicating issues of governance
and statecraft was long in the making. This book presents a deeply
contextualised account of law in Pakistan and situates the judicial
review jurisprudence of the superior courts in the context of
historical developments in constitutional politics, evolution of
state structures and broader social transformations. This book
highlights that the bedrock of judicial review has remained in
administrative law; it is through the consistent development of the
'Writ jurisdiction' and the judicial review of administrative
action that Pakistan's superior courts have progressively carved an
expansive institutional role and aggrandised themselves to the
status of the regulator of the state.
