ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court’s constitutional bench on Monday dismissed the government’s petition seeking to allow military courts to deliver case verdicts.
Apex court’s seven-member constitutional bench, led by Justice Aminuddin Khan, conducted the hearing of the plea requesting the court to allow military courts jurisdiction over civilian cases.
During the hearing, Justice Musarrat Hilali remarked that giving such permission would imply recognition authority of military courts in these matters.
Apart from that, the special bench also heard the plea filed by former chief justice Jawad S Khawaja to halt the hearing of the cases against the trial of civilians in military courts till the petition challenging the 26th Constitutional Amendment was decided.
The court threw out the former chief justice’s petition, which was filed through senior lawyer Aitzaz Ahsan, and also slapped a fine of Rs20,000.
