The federal government and Balochistan government Friday also challenged the decision of the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) against the establishment of the military courts.
The federal and Balochistan governments filed an intra-court appeal in the apex court through the Attorney General for Pakistan, the decision of the Supreme Court against the trial of civilians in military courts should be annulled.
“The order of the division bench should be stayed pending the decision on the appeal,” an appeal prayed to SC.
The bench constituted in the military court case was not governed by the Supreme Court Practice and Procedure Bill, it stated, adding that, the judgment is also ineffective as the Constitution of the 5-member bench is not in accordance with law.
The Sindh government has filed an appeal with the Supreme Court against halting the trial of civilians in military courts.
