SC allows military courts to pronounce verdicts against civilians

On Thursday, the Supreme Court granted military courts the authority to issue reserved verdicts in instances involving civilians detained on suspicion of participating in the May 9 protests.
If the nominated suspects could be released prior to Eid, it mandated that judgements be made public.
The orders were given by the court when it was deliberating on a series of intra-court appeals (ICAs) over its majority decision on October 23 to void the military trials of civilians implicated in the May 9 riots.
The hearings were presided over by a six-member bench chaired by Justice Aminuddin Khan, which also included Justices Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Syed Azhar Hasan Rizvi, Shahid Waheed, Musarrat Hilali, and Irfan Saadat Khan.
