Supreme Court of Pakistan admitted that former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto did not receive a fair trial. The court's decision raised questions about the integrity of the Pakistani judiciary.
Some have linked the decision and its effects to the current political reality and what the former PM and leader of the Insaf Party, Imran Khan, faces in terms of various judicial rulings. In 2011, the Pakistan People's Party government - which was headed by former President Asif Ali Zardari - submitted a request to reopen the case.
