Independence suggests that professionals in law can unobstructed deliver legal judgments whether involving powerful diplomats, executive characters, or average residents. Therefore, guaranteeing resolutions are built on vitality slightly than is the outcome of governmental tensions or is promoting some bulk. Founded with freedom, the judiciary system works as a defense of public equities and independence. In Pakistan, however, the Constitution designates an individualistic and non-interrupted judiciary but political authorities, from multiple years, have been doubled upon guaranteeing that the lawmakers or law implementers/ judges constantly survive in an environment of anxiety and address partial and advantageous determinations under the leadership and intentional power of the outside officials.

These hurdles have great impact on country’s overall judicial performance which turns it not a democratic state and throw critical observation over dependent proclaims of judicial system, where jury could not perform and execute rule of law individually.
