What do you understand by the term “Judicial Activism” in Pakistan?

  • (A) Fast disposal of cases by the judges
  • (B) Judicial interference in executive and legislative affairs
  • (C) Independent decision of the courts
  • (D) Corruption and nepotism in judiciary
  • Judicial activism in Pakistan should be understood as “Judicial Interference in the Work of the Executive and Legislative”. In simpler words, it is “Judicial activism is when the higher judiciary, especially the Supreme Court, interferes in issues of public importance on its own initiative under Article 184(3) of the Constitution”.
  • Judicial activism is when the judiciary interferes in issues that are supposed to be handled by the executive and the legislature or lawmakers. This is often evident when the executive and legislature have failed to provide basic amenities and also failed to keep a check on the government and its activities. This is also evident when the judiciary acts as a watchdog and checks the executive and legislature, which is also known as “Judicial Overreach”.
  • Judicial activism is evident when it comes to issues like price control of basic commodities such as sugar and oil, urban planning such as demolition of buildings, issues of missing persons, and issues of corruption.”
