The Parliament of Pakistan from 1971 to 1977 was the first Parliament of present day
Pakistan and the first bicameral Parliament in the history of the state. Therefore this
Parliament seemed to have developed as a powerful institution in contrast to other
institutions of the state. The mutual confrontation between the two major institutions of the
state namely the bureaucracy and the parliament in order to get thedriving position of the
state will be the focus of this study. It will discuss the mutual relationship of the institutions
of bureaucracy and the parliament in the presence of more powerful institution of Chief
Executive at the time. The paper will try to analyze the influence and powers of the
parliament which was apparently strong but in fact was weaker than bureaucracy. The
functions of parliamentary institution were highlighted and projected to be stronger than
those of bureaucracy but in fact the real functionary was the bureaucracy. The key sources
of the paper are the parliamentary debates, reliable works of research, statements of various
key players and various documents from the Pakistani, British and US archives.
