Abstract
The purpose of this article is to take a historical overview of Judiciary’s activism in derailing the democratic process in Pakistan. To provide a complete study of judicial activism and its impacts on democracy a glimpse of historical background can help to establish an appropriate point of view that the political history of Pakistan is full of judicial interference. The constitutional and political history of Pakistan has witnessed the murder of political rights by other institutions. The repeated undemocratic acts/episodes of dissolving the elected assemblies by the military or bureaucratic establishment with judicial support can be witnessed throughout the political history of Pakistan. This study shall attempt to find the correlation between the successful democracy and the doctrine of separation of power. By applying the theory of separation of power to this study it shall be concluded that the prime reason of weak democracy is imbalance of power among the three organs of government. This research shall be conducted by utilizing the qualitative methodology. The documentary analysis provides the information to understand historical roots of specific issues. Keywords: Judicial Activism, Political Representation, Separation of power, Suo motto powers, Fundamental rights.
