Description: "This work is about factors that seem to affect the role of judiciary in Pakistan's governance. It mainly focuses on prerogative writ jurisdictions of high courts and original jurisdiction of Supreme Court to enforce fundamental rights and to provide adequate remedies against the ultra vires public actions. It attemps to locate reasons which hinder judiciary to ensure rule of law for good governance, tending to restrict judicial review to effectively review public policies and actions. The study discusses in some details that governments both democratic and non-democratic, have been conscious and often tried to counter the power of judicial review through amendments in constitutional history of the country."--
