The Supreme Court has indefinitely postponed the hearing on the issue of conducting civilian trials in military courts.

Under the leadership of Justice Aminuddin, a panel of seven judges presided over the hearing. During the proceedings, the court authorised Khawaja Haris to deliver arguments on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.

The attorney general of Pakistan notified the court that the families of the detainees kept in military custody will be granted permission to visit them today. Justice Aminuddin observed that the case seems to originate from the incidents that occurred on May 9, 2023, and raised concerns about which legal provisions could be subject to dispute in this particular situation.

Advocate Faisal Siddiqui, who joined the court remotely, submitted a miscellaneous request contending that the government should not be represented by a private attorney. Siddiqui implored the court to prioritise his plea before permitting Khawaja Haris to continue with his arguments, emphasising that otherwise, his request would lose its effectiveness.

Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar noted that it was not uncommon for a private counsel to represent the government.

Justice Irfan Saadat emphasised the importance of treating suspects with humanity, emphasising that it is unacceptable to treat human beings in a cruel or inhumane manner.

Justice Mazhar observed that the Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP) will argue that the suspects’ regular meetings with their families were previously scheduled every week, and questioned why this customary practice was not maintained. “Attorney General, your statement is officially documented as part of the court record.”

Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar stated that in an appeal, the court must examine the mistake made in the initial decision. He subsequently requested the attorney general to present the court with the error in the original judgement.

The bench granted Khawaja Haris the opportunity to present arguments on behalf of the Ministry of Defence. Justice Shahid Waheed asked if it was possible to transfer a case before the formal accusation, while Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar enquired if a case may be transferred at any stage, whether before or after the formal accusation. In addition, Justice Jamal Mandokhel instructed Khawaja Haris to furnish details regarding the jurisdiction of the case.

The Supreme Court has indefinitely adjourned the hearing, indicating that the case will be rescheduled for a future hearing when the bench is available.

With the help of this new Instagram function, parents will have more control over what their kids do online.

New users between the ages of 13 and 15 will have their Teen Accounts enabled immediately, while current users in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia will be gradually transferred to the new accounts over the course of the following 60 days.

Important characteristics of teen accounts

Teen accounts are by default set to private, which limits the display of their posts to authorized followers and keeps non-followers from getting in touch with them.

Restrictions on Teen Messaging: To minimize unwanted encounters, teens are only able to message people they follow or already have a connection with.

Control of Sensitive Content: Tight settings will prevent exposure to potentially dangerous content, like advertisements for cosmetic procedures or violent content.

Parental Control: Guardians can keep an eye on their offspring’s internet behavior, such as direct messaging and content intake.

Positive Content: By allowing teenagers to research interests, like sports, music, or the arts, they can enhance their online experience.

Extra protection

Reminding teenagers to take breaks after 60 minutes of app use is part of the daily limit.

Sleep mode: To encourage sound sleep habits, automatically mute notifications between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Using artificial intelligence to power age verification, underage individuals can be identified and moved to teen accounts.

In yesterday’s 92-run defeat against Markhors, Asif Ali, who is playing for the Dolphins under Saud Shakeel, scored a fast half-century.

Asif stated in an interview with a local news station that he wanted to do well enough throughout the competition to possibly earn a spot back on the national squad.

He also disclosed that, prior to making his international debut, he batted at number four in domestic cricket but was forced to settle for number six. The energetic batter had a new task because of the
in batting order.

Asif stated, “Going from No. 4 to No. 6 is not easy.” “It’s critical to train properly for your position in international cricket. It can be challenging to drop to a lower position at the international level if you’re used to playing higher up the order at home.

He talked candidly about the Dolphins’ defeat against the Markhorses as well, stating that given the pitch conditions, he would not have chosen to field first.

“Batting was challenging because the pitch favored bowlers in the latter parts of the game,” he remarked. Because of the early dampness, the Dolphins’ management decided to field first.

He then on, “If they had asked me, I would have told them to bat first and not fall for that.”

Report: Solar is expected to set new records this year.

In 2023, there was an expected 87% increase in growth. This year’s increase is 29% over the previous one, according to the research.

The cheapest source of electricity globally is solar power, and as such, it is expanding quicker than many anticipated, according to Euan Graham, an Ember electricity data analyst.

Ember estimates demonstrate the rapid growth of solar energy: in 2024 alone, new solar capacity will surpass the 540 GW of additional coal power added globally since 2010.

Expected to add 334 GW, or 56 percent of the global total in 2024, China continues to lead the globe in this industry.

According to the survey, it is followed by the US, India, Germany, and Brazil. These five nations will account for 75% of the new solar capacity in 2024.

According to the research, maintaining the sector’s growth required grid capacity and battery storage.

“Providing enough grid capacity and developing battery storage is critical for handling electricity distribution and supporting solar outside of peak sunlight hours as solar becomes more inexpensive and accessible,” the statement stated.

“Solar power might continue to surpass forecasts for the remainder of the decade if these issues are resolved and development is sustained.”
