The recent judgment of the Supreme Court that struck down the dissolution of the National Assembly by President Dr Arif Alvi on 3rd April and ordered Prime Minister Imran Khan to face the vote of no-confidence has been welcomed by the opposition parties. The Prime Minister Khan, though not happy with the decision, has accepted it.
The five member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial held contrary to the Constitution and set aside the ruling of Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri that had blocked — under Article 5 — voting on the no-confidence move.
