Islamabad:
On Thursday, the Ministry of Defense Lawyer informed the constitutional bench (CB) of the Supreme Court that special courts were the courts who used special jurisdiction to try criminal cases, and said that none of the May 9 had claimed had claimed not to have received a fair trial.
A seven-member CB, led by Justice Aminuddin Khan, continued the hearing of the intra-court appeals against Tip Rett’s decision against the trial against civilians in the military courts.
The court asked the Ministry of Defense’s lawyer Khawaja Haris to end her arguments by Friday.
During the hearing, Justice Jamal Mandokhail noted that Article 175 of the Constitution was the only article that outlined the court’s establishment and jurisdiction.
However, Haris cited a previous case saying that the court’s martial arts and special courts did not come under Article 175.
At this, Justice Mandokhail asked the question of whether the special courts could be called courts or not. Khawaja Haris replied that special courts were the courts that conducted criminal litigation using special jurisdiction.
