EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF JUDICIAL HYPER-ACTIVISM ON SOCIETY AND MEDIA IN PAKISTAN: A QUALITATIVE STUDY

Abstract

Judicial Hyper-activism in Pakistan has been on the rise since 2020 due to the political anarchy and the prevailing law and order situation where the Legislative and Executives have failed to administer and maintain peace and balance in the country. Since these organizations have not contributed to the country’s welfare, there has been a certain loss to the country’s image created by the media, its economic stability, and peace both on the national and international levels. The present study aims to discuss the impact of Judicial Hyper-activism in Pakistan and how it builds its image on the national level. The study has been carried out by the qualitative analysis technique using the previous case studies obtained from the official SC sites and statistical shreds of evidence generated by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The study can further pave the way regarding the solutions needed to control the hyper activism of the judiciary and maintain peace throughout the situations.
