The ongoing dispute between the Pakistani government and the judiciary erupted into a sit-in protest of what were allegedly "undue favours" given to the former prime minister Imran Khan.
The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) (JUI-F) party, one of the 13 members of the government coalition, the Pakistan Democratic Movement, was primarily in charge of the demonstration, which got underway since 15 May 2023.
The ruling parties have accused the judiciary of bias in favour of Khan, their chief political rival, as a result of these developments.
[3][4] On 15 May 2023, the ruling coalition assembled in parliament and issued a motion accusing Pakistan's Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial of "misconduct."
Along with the sit-in demonstration outside the Supreme Court by pro-government protesters, this unusual resolution against the chief judge in parliament indicates the escalating hostilities between the executive branch and the judiciary.
