Judiciary-Military Tensions in Pakistan

Pakistan is on the brink of a significant institutional showdown as the judiciary appears increasingly prepared to challenge the military’s extensive influence. The judiciary’s resistance to the military’s actions involving former Prime Minister Imran Khan underscores the growing tension between these two powerful entities.

The military has been involved in legal actions against Khan, including charges ranging from sedition to illegal marriage. However, the courts have repeatedly intervened, impacting these efforts.
