This article investigates the role of military in the politics of Pakistan. The researchers highlight when politicians gave poles to the military, military intervened and it established its own political system. In General Zia-ul-Haq’s period, at first the political parties welcomed the military, and then launched the movements to send it back into barracks but these could not be successful. The main problem for them was that they were not united and organized yet, and Military used them for its own objectives. There are a few questions about the civil military patch up from 1977 to 1988. First, had military intentions, in advance, to topple the elected government of Z.A. Bhutto? Second, why Pakistan National Alliance (PNA) couldn’t achieve its objectives? Third, was the doctrine of necessity by judiciary proved helpful for the democratic future of Pakistan or not? Forth, why did Zia conduct the local elections on its due time, while General elections were not at all? The research is based on the analysis of the authentic material. Institutional theory is applied with comparative politics. Through the conceptualization of the data, the researchers have developed their stance that if our politicians had took positive measures the situation of martial law would never occurred.
