Verdict against military courts, Federal govt files an appeal against the descision

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.
