Shortly after this, on the recommendation of Imran Khan, the President dissolved the National Assembly.
Supreme Court hearing on Monday
The matter of dismissal of the no-confidence motion reached the Supreme Court. Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Umar Ata Bandiyal himself took cognizance of the matter.
