ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court bench on Thursday resumed hearing of the suo motu case against the ruling issued by the deputy speaker of the National Assembly that dismissed a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday.
The case is being heard by a five-member bench headed by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial and includes Justice Munib Akhtar, Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhel, Justice Ijazul Ahsan, and Justice Mazhar Alam Khan.
The top court had taken notice of the ruling and the subsequent dissolution of the National Assembly by President Arif Alvi on the advice of the premier pushing the country into a constitutional crisis.
During the hearing, Attorney General of Pakistan Khalid Jawed Khan and Speaker Asad Qaiser’s lawyer Naeem Bukhari will argue before the bench today. The apex court, since the first day, has been saying that it would want to resolve the case at the earliest but not without hearing all the parties first.
It is expected a ruling will be announced today.
