Judicial Activism is a developing doctrine which can be defined as the active role of Judiciary in constitutional matters
of the state. The Judicial branch of a state can play an effective role in dispensation of Justice and promotion of rule of
law in the Country. In Pakistan, Judiciary being the third pillar of state and having trust of most of the public, plays an
active role in matters of public importance and fundamental rights. In last decade, the concept of independence of
Judiciary has strengthened the judicial wing of the state and since then the power of Judicial Review under Article
184(3) is being exercised at a wider scale by superior courts in Pakistan. Ex-Chief Justice Mr.Saqib Nisar during his
tenure as Chief Justice (from 31st December 2016 to 17 January 2018) has exercised the review power frequently and
has publically prompted the concept of Judicial activism by calling it as a mandatory role of the Judge of the Supreme
Court. This research will highlight the concept of Judicial Activism in Pakistan, further, it would analyze the tenure of
Mr.Saqib Nisar as Chief Justice of Pakistan.
