The Prime Minister Office (PMO) in Pakistan has asked for a performance report of the previous Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government from all ministries within 24 hours, reports The Express Tribune.

The portal quotes sources as saying, this demand has been a matter of concern among the ministries. The sources elaborated that the staff of former ministers is still occupied to gather information about official meetings, including that of the scheduled meeting at Bani Gala for consultations.

Meanwhile, Reuters added that a member of Pakistan's government denounced on Friday a Supreme Court decision to quash an attempt by Prime Minister Imran Khan to block a no-confidence vote against him, saying the court's ruling was akin to a "judicial coup".

The court ruling late on Thursday said that Khan must face the no-confidence vote, which he is widely expected to lose, meaning the former cricket star will be ousted as prime minister "A judicial coup happened last night ... ending parliamentary supremacy!" Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari said on Twitter.

Khan is currently serving as the interim prime minister after the dissolution of the National Assembly.

Markets opened on a positive note on hope the crisis might be easing. The Pakistan Stock Exchange was up 680 points, or 1.5%, and the rupee had rebounded from historic lows.

"The court decision will end political uncertainty and constitutional crisis to a large extent. This will help restore come confidence in the markets," Muhammad Sohail of Karachi-based Topline Securities told Reuters.

"However economic challenges remain and it will be interesting to see how new set up takes bold steps to put things in order," he added.

If Khan loses the vote of no-confidence, the Opposition will put forward a candidate for prime minister.

Shehbaz Sharif, the younger brother of three-time prime minister Nawaz Sharif, said after the court ruling that the opposition had nominated him to take over should Khan be ousted.
