This paper considers the relationship between the judiciary and government of Pakistan. In 2012, the Prime Minister was convicted by the Supreme Court for contempt of court. Pakistan's judiciary, historically seen as relatively passive in political matters, has witnessed a new phase. A strong judiciary is clearly vital in any democracy, and it will be important for the key institutions and players to find the right balance to ensure the success of Pakistan's return to democracy.
