Pakistan’s Supreme Court has set aside deputy speaker's ruling to dismiss the no-trust resolution against Prime Minister Imran Khan and the subsequent dissolution of the National Assembly by the president on the PM's advice, with all five judges unanimously voting 5-0 against it.
The apex court ruled that President Dr Arif Alvi's decision to dissolve the National Assembly was "illegal" and restored Prime Minister Imran Khan as well as his cabinet.
The Supreme Court ordered for the session of the National Assembly to reconvene on Saturday, saying that the session cannot be adjourned without the conclusion of the no-trust motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
