Pakistan’s legal lawyer Mansoor Usman Awan said on Monday that the government had postponed its planned move to the International Court (ICJ) regarding India’s recent actions after Pahalam, referring to changing priorities.

“Today we were going to continue to ICJ over India’s actions, but it has been canceled,” Awan informed the supreme court during hearings of legal appeals that challenge beliefs about civilians by military courts.

During the hearing, the lawyer Mansoor Usman Awan appeared to court and presented arguments at three points.

The Riced Attorney declared that Khawaja Haris, the lawyer of the Ministry of Defense, had already presented arguments about the events on May 9 and that he would also give some details of the case before the court.

He said the second part of his arguments would tackle the insurance policies given during the hearing of the main case, while the third point concerns the appeal.

The Riced Attorney informed the Court that it was a political issue and that he would submit submissions on the case after applying for the instructions.

Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail noted that Parliament could make the political decisions it is considered appropriate, but the court’s focus would remain limited to the present case.

The rice attorney said he had simply presented his speeches and that it was up to court to decide whether to give further time. He also pointed out that the relevant provisions of the Military Act had existed since 1967.

Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar asked how long the lawyer would require for his arguments. The rice attorney replied that he would end his arguments within 45 minutes.

The consultation was postponed until May 5th.
