Justice Minallah: Supreme Court Facilitated Derailment of Democracy, Eroded Own Authority
- Role of Supreme Court in facilitating derailment of democracy is indefensible, says Justice Minallah
- Absence of civil supremacy has created persistent tension; constitution subverted
- SC perceived to be involved in political engineering before 2018 elections
- Leader of the House did not acknowledge opposition, tried to dissolve assembly
- SC judgments fixing election dates not implemented or enforced
- Allowed authority of SC to be eroded; constitution violated with impunity
- Governance models have not given people chance to rule under the constitution
