CHEEMA 6 November, 2018 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis has been a labour of love and there are many people without whose help, support and encouragement it would not have been possible. Foremost amongst the people to whom I owe a debt of gratitude is the chair of my supervisory panel, Professor Peter Cane. Peter has always been a source of inspiration and set very exacting standards which, while somewhat intimidating, pushed me to try to produce my best work. Peter’s generosity with his time, constructive feedback and detailed comments enabled me to produce a thesis I can be proud of. I would also like to thank other members of my supervisory panel, Professor Michael Coper and Associate Professor Leighton McDonald, whose advice and support was vital at critical junctures of this project. In addition, there are many other colleagues and members of the executive who deserve credit for creating a wonderfully collegial and enabling intellectual environment at the ANU College of Law. Among such colleagues Professor Anthony Connolly, Associate Professor Asmi Wood, Professor James Stellios, Professor Stephen Bottomley, Professor Peta Spender, Associate Professor Miriam Gani, Professor Fiona Wheeler, Dr Anne Macduff, Dr Rebecca Monson, Associate Professor Matthew Zagor, Professor Mark Nolan and Professor Donald Rothwell deserve a special mention. The Australian National University is a great place to work at and indeed there are many colleagues across the campus who helped shape my ideas over the years. I am thankful especially to Professor William Maley, who has been incredibly supportive. I have also benefitted from the work of Associate Professor Björn Dressel and Dr Nick Cheesman. Beyond the ANU, I am indebted to people such as Professor Martin Krygier, Professor Andrew Harding, Professor Richard Albert, Professor Clark Lombardi, Professor Theunis Roux, Professor Jamal Greene, Professor Marc Galanter, Mr Madhav Khosla, Associate Professor Tarunab Khaitan, Justice, (Retd.) Jawwad S Khwaja, Assistant Professor Sadaf Aziz, Professor Po Jen Yap, and others who have facilitated my 3 scholarly development through reviews of draft articles, constructive feedback on conference papers, and illuminating discussions on comparative constitutional law. I am most indebted to my partner Faiza Cheema, who not only supported me through the best and the toughest of times. A special thank you to my daughters, Zenovia and Zariya Cheema, who were a constant source of joy and for their wonderful reminders that love and life are bigger than work. To my family and friends, especially my parents, who are still wondering if I will ever finish my PhD. 4 ABSTRACT This thesis presents a deeply contextualized account of law in postcolonial Pakistan and situates the judicial review jurisprudence of the superior courts, in particular their recent activism and populism, in the contexts of historical developments in constitutional politics, evolution of state structures and broader social transformations. It shows how in each epoch of the postcolonial state’s history the superior courts positioned themselves within the state and vis a vis the demands that different segments of the society placed upon the state and its institutions. It brings forth evidence that the courts did not define their role in accordance with certain abstract theories of constitutionalism, rule of law and separation of powers that had been deeply imbricated in the postcolonial state’s self-justifications. Rather, these courts re-fashioned their role in accordance with fundamental shifts in constitutional politics, state structure and state-society dialectics. In the process, these courts re-cast the theoretical conceptualizations of constitutionalism, rule of law, and separation of powers to better reflect their evolving role and jurisprudence. A deeper understanding of these phenomena – the evolution of judicial role in response to shifts in socio-political context, and the re-crafting of theoretical frameworks to justify it – will enable us to meaningfully scrutinize the courts’ recent jurisprudence and evaluate the judiciary’s future role in Pakistan’s governance scheme. As such, it will be argued that the courts’ role is deeply political in terms of defining the nature and relevant powers of state institutions and the imperatives for their actions. Perhaps the Pakistani situation is unique in this respect, but it might be worthwhile speculating if theory is often an articulation of such deeply contextualized public law jurisprudence elsewhere as well. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

    European Union Election Observation Mission Islamic Republic of Pakistan General elections – 25 July 2018 PRELIMINARY STATEMENT Positive changes to the legal framework were overshadowed by restrictions on freedom of expression and unequal campaign opportunities Islamabad, 27 July 2018 The preliminary statement of the EU EOM to Pakistan is delivered before the completion of the entire electoral process. Crucial stages remain, including the completion of the tabulation, the announcement of results, and the adjudication of petitions. The EU EOM is now only in a position to comment on observation undertaken to date. It will later publish a final report, including full analysis and recommendations for future elections. The EU EOM may also make additional statements on election- related matters if necessary. The EU EOM is independent in its findings and conclusions and adheres to the Declaration of Principles for International Election Observation signed at the United Nations in October 2005. Summary • The 25 July 2018 general elections followed, for the first time in Pakistan’s history, two elected civilian governments completing their full terms. The elections took place against a background of allegations of interference in the electoral process by the military-led establishment and the role of the judiciary as a political actor. Media outlets and journalists suffer from severe restrictions and curtailment on freedom of expression, which has resulted in extraordinary levels of self-censorship. • A number of violent attacks, targeting political parties, party leaders, candidates and election officials, affected the campaign environment. Most interlocutors acknowledged a systematic effort to undermine the former ruling party through cases of corruption, contempt of court and terrorist charges against its leaders and candidates.

Similar to the pattern of transition between civilian rule and dictatorship, there is a pattern of change within authoritarian Regimes that could be observed in all the three experiences of transition in Pakistan. This paper identifies the pattern of change from military dictatorship to civilian rule from 1958 to 1970. The key questions addressed in this paper are: firstly, how the military regime consolidated its grip on power after the October 1958 coup? Secondly, how early cracks appeared in the military’s control over power and matured with the passage of time, resulting in a national crisis? Thirdly, how failure in crises management led to the transition to civilian rule, as well as, the disintegration of the state. Key Words: Pakistan, Authoritarianism, Military, Political Parties, Civilian Rule Introduction Political instability, weak political culture, economic crises and continuous intervention of civil and military bureaucracy during the first decade after independence led to the October coup of 1958. The regime established in the post-coup period showcased itself as the proponent of the reform agenda. After banning all political activities, a reform program was launched in all the major political, social and economic sectors.

  • Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Confrontationist Power Politics in Pakistan : JRSP, Vol
    Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Confrontationist Power Politics in Pakistan : JRSP, Vol. 58, No 2 (April-June 2021) Ulfat Zahra Javed Iqbal Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and the Beginning of Confrontationist Power Politics in Pakistan 1971-1977 Abstract: This paper mainly explores the genesis of power politics in Pakistan during 1971-1977. The era witnessed political disorders that the country had experienced after the tragic event of the separation of East Pakistan. Bhutto’s desire for absolute power and his efforts to introduce a system that would make him the main force in power alienated both, the opposition and his colleagues and supporters. Instead of a democratic stance on competitive policies, he adopted an authoritarian style and confronted the National People's Party, leading to an era characterized by power politics and personality clashes between the stalwarts of the time. This mutual distrust between Bhutto and the opposition - led to a coalition of diverse political groups in the opposition, forming alliances such as the United Democratic Front and the Pakistan National Alliance to counter Bhutto's attempts of establishing a sort of civilian dictatorship. This study attempts to highlight the main theoretical and political implications of power politics between the ruling PPP and the opposition parties which left behind deep imprints on the history of Pakistan leading to the imposition of martial law in 1977. If the political parties tackle the situation with harmony, a firm democracy can establish in Pakistan. Keywords: Pakhtun Students Federation, Dehi Mohafiz, Shahbaz (Newspaper), Federal Security Force. Introduction The loss of East Pakistan had caused great demoralization in the country.
