Specifics: Advocate Latif Khosa filed a petition with the Supreme Court requesting that the cases be scheduled for hearings beginning on July 1 of the following week.

Despite an earlier directive from the Supreme Court, the cases remain unheard. The hearing was scheduled for the third week of January 2024.

Justice for 103 convicts who are awaiting trial, according to the petition, has been denied as a result of the cases’ prolonged hearing.

The appeal asks the Supreme Court to move quickly to guarantee the accused receives justice in these proceedings, which have been pending since December 13.

A plea to create a wider bench to hear appeals against the annulment of civilian proceedings in military courts was previously accepted by the Supreme Court (SC).

A six-person bench led by Justice Aminuddin considered appeals against the nullification of civilian defendants’ trials in military tribunals. Additionally serving on the bench are Justices Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Hasan Azhar Rizvi, Shahid Waheed, Musrrat Hilali, and Irfan Saadat Khan.

The accused was given a three-year jail sentence by military tribunals, and the Supreme Court had previously requested the attorney general for details of the case.

Twenty defendants who had been given a one-year prison sentence before to Eid were ordered to be released by the court. The Supreme Court received the accused’s details, which were made public on Eid.

The suspects in the May 9 attack on military sites will go on trial in accordance with army regulations, the administration decided.

When the former prime minister was taken into custody on May 9 from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) grounds, violent altercations erupted throughout Pakistan.

A PTI protest resulted in attacks on Army installations, the Corps Commander’s residence in Lahore, and General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi.

Gratitude
After the government announced that those found guilty of attacking and damaging military installations will face military court trials, both the army and the government viewed this as a low blow, especially in light of the arrests made in connection with the violent riots that broke out across the nation on May 9.

Imran Khan, the founder of the PTI, former chief justice Jawwad S. Khawaja, legal scholar Aitzaz Ahsan, and five representatives of civil society, including Karamat Ali, executive director of Piler, asked the supreme court to declare the military tribunals “unconstitutional” in consideration of this ruling.
