Pakistan's Supreme Court Overturns Decision to Dissolve Parliament

Pakistan's Supreme Court has annulled the dissolution of the National Assembly(parliament), and decided to vote on the opposition's motion of no-confidence in Prime Minister Imran Khan, which would likely cost him his position, France 24 reported.

The Pakistani Supreme Court had postponed consideration of the legality of the parliament's abolition of a vote of no confidence in the prime minister.

Pakistani President Arif Alvi had accepted Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's request to dissolve the country's parliament and call early elections after the opposition's attempt to cast confidence in his government through parliament failed.
