This bench has repeatedly sat at the center of Pakistan's constitutional and political crises, from Chief Justice Muhammad Munir's doctrine of necessity validating extra-constitutional takeovers, through the court's later assertions of judicial independence and suo motu activism, to landmark rulings on the disqualification of sitting prime ministers.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonDefining CharacteristicWell-attestedJudges of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, the supreme judicial authority and apex court of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. 1Formation YearWell-attested1956 CE 1Browse ByAll PakistanPakistan35 entriesPakistanFilter Results35 entriesRoleAllChief Justice (12)Judge (13)Jurist (22)Legal Scholar (1)Politician (1)Legal SystemAllCommon Law (1)Law of Pakistan (34)Field of LawAllCivil / Private Law (2)Constitutional Law (13)Criminal Law (1)Family Law (1)Human Rights Law (6)International Law (5)Islamic Law (Sharia and Fiqh) (5)Legal Philosophy and Jurisprudence (5)Nationality or JurisdictionAllBritish Raj (1)India (8)Pakistan (35)Court Served OnAllSupreme Court of Pakistan (35)GenderAllFemale (1)Male (34)Era (Birth Decade)All1889 (1)1895 (2)1903 (3)1910 (1)1912 (1)1917 (1)1924 (1)1925 (1)1928 (1)1929 (1)1933 (1)1934 (1)1937 (3)1938 (1)1940 (1)1942 (1)1944 (1)1948 (1)1949 (1)1950 (1)1951 (1)1957 (1)1958 (1)1959 (1)1961 (1)1965 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 35A.
