Fundamental Rights and Judicial Review in Pakistan

Fundamental Rights and Judicial Review in Pakistan provides a comprehensive study of the constitutional framework of rights and the judiciary’s role in protecting them. The book examines how fundamental rights—such as equality, freedom of speech, religion, fair trial, and liberty—are enshrined in Pakistan’s Constitution and how the courts interpret, expand, or restrict these rights through judicial review.

It traces the historical evolution of constitutional rights, beginning from the early Constitutions of Pakistan, and evaluates how successive governments, military regimes, and democratic transitions have influenced the enforcement of rights. Special focus is given to landmark Supreme Court cases, constitutional amendments, and judicial activism.

This book is an essential reference for law students, legal practitioners, researchers, and policymakers, offering insights into the relationship between the judiciary, the Constitution, and the protection of civil liberties in Pakistan.
