Pakistan Military's Expanding Role in Civilian Institutions and Economic Ventures
Pakistan's military exerts significant control over the country's civilian institutions and economic assets. A recent court reversal favored the Pakistan Navy's real estate projects, highlighting the military's expanding influence over state property.

These developments underscore the military's entrenched role in Pakistan's governance and economic sectors beyond traditional defense functions.
