The Supreme Court has dismissed the government’s plea to permit military courts to decide cases involving civilians. A seven-member constitutional bench, led by Justice Aminuddin Khan, heard arguments against trials of civilians in military courts.
Defense Ministry lawyer Khawaja Haris argued that civilians working with the armed forces fall under the Army Act, but the bench raised concerns over its application.
Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar emphasized that the government’s case did not align with the relevant section of the Act, while Justice Musarat Hilali questioned the procedural legitimacy of transferring cases from anti-terrorism courts to military courts.
Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhel requested all lawyers to assist in expediting the case. However, the bench firmly opposed granting military courts the authority to issue verdicts, stating it would undermine constitutional norms.
The hearing has been adjourned, with further deliberations scheduled for tomorrow.
