Military courts formation challenged in SC

The petition, filed by Barrister Zafarullah, stated that a parallel judicial system cannot function in the country nor the constitution allows it.

It was further mentioned that military courts cannot hear cases of civilians whereas Supreme Court has already given its verdict against the formation of military courts.

The petitioner has pleaded the apex court to declare the government’s decision of forming military courts as void.

Earlier, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, in national action plan against terrorism, after the Peshawar Attack had announced to form military courts to hear terrorism cases.
