Dissolution unconstitutional: Pakistan SC orders no-trust vote on April 9

The parliament ruling is "declared contrary to the constitution and the law," Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial said of the unanimous verdict

Pakistan’s Supreme Court cancelled Prime Minister Imran Khan’s plan to hold an election, a move that could bring the Opposition to power within days. A panel of five judges on Thursday rejected a parliamentary ruling that called off a no-confidence debate on Sunday, which had allowed Khan to call for fresh elections. The opposition had declared the move illegal, as the constitution doesn’t allow the dissolution of parliament during a no-confidence debate.
 
The vote on the no-confidence motion will now be held on Saturday morning, state-run Radio Pakistan reported. The cabinet and parliament were also restored.
