Abstract
Military played a dominant role in Pakistan’s politics. During military rule, executive was a dominant institution over the judiciary. There is always a marriage of convenience between the military and the judiciary. They used judiciary as a tool while suspending or amending the constitution. The appointment and removal of the judges was the discretionary powers of the military regimes. This paper is an attempt to highlight that why military directly intervened in the Superior Courts? What was the response of Superior Courts over military interventions? How the Superior Courts legitimized military regimes?
