Much like India, Pakistan’s Supreme Court has three types of jurisdiction under the constitution: original, appellate, and advisory. The Court’s original jurisdiction in Article 184 includes the duty to settle disputes between and among the provincial and national governments. Further, Subsection 3 of Article 183 is the basis for suo motu and public interest litigation. The Court’s appellate jurisdiction in Article 185 lays out several instances when the Court may review judgments by the lower courts, including the High Courts. Further, under Article 186A the Court can transfer a case immediately from a High Court. Lastly, and perhaps least important in modern jurisprudence, the court’s advisory jurisdiction is recognized in Article 186.
