Really? That's the basics of separation of powers doctrine
The constitution is clear about it:
68 Restriction on discussion in Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament).
No discussion shall take place in 167[Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament)] 167 with respect to the conduct of any Judge of the Supreme Court or of a High Court in the discharge of his duties.69 Courts not to inquire into proceedings of Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament).
(1) The validity of any proceedings in 168[Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament)] 168 shall not be called in question on the ground of any irregularity of procedure. (2) No officer or member of 169[Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament)] 169 in whom powers are vested by or under the Constitution for regulating procedure or the conduct of business, or for maintaining order in 170[Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament)] 170, shall be subject to the jurisdiction of any court in respect of the exercise by him of those powers. (3) In this Article, 171[Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament)] 171 has the same meaning as in Article 66.
So what does proviso mean "on the ground of any irregularity of procedure" when the Speaker is bound to hold a vote on a valid VoNC "not before the expiration of three days, or later than seven days"? Is refusal to hold a vote "procedure" or a direct violation of the Constitution?
Pretty clear here too:
95 Vote of no-confidence against Prime Minister.
(1) A resolution for a vote of no-confidence moved by not less than twenty per centum of the total membership of the National Assembly may be passed against the Prime Minister by the National Assembly.
(2) A resolution referred to in clause (1) shall not be voted upon before the expiration of three days, or later than seven days, from the day on which such resolution is moved in the National Assembly.
(3) A resolution referred to in clause (1) shall not be moved in the National Assembly while the National Assembly is considering demands for grants submitted to it in the Annual Budget Statement.
(4) If the resolution referred to in clause (1) is passed by a majority of the total membership of the National Assembly, the Prime Minister shall cease to hold office.
