ISLAMABAD: /DNA/ – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf spokesperson highly appreciated the formation of a Supreme Court (SC) bench to hear the petitions challenging the trials of civilians in military courts.
PTI spokesperson said that trying civilians in the military courts had neither any place in any civilized democratic society of the world, nor the constitution of the country allowed it to do so.
He said that the Attorney General of Pakistan had already given assurance to the top court on August 3, 2023 and the court also categorically instructed the state institution to avoid any such trials.
However, PTI spokesperson said that unfortunately, the state machinery was trying several citizens in the military courts despite the assurances of the AGP and the clear instructions of the SC, which was serious deviation from the constitution.
He state that they expected that the bench set up to hear this matter headed by Justice Ejaz-ul-Ahsan would take immediate notice of it to prevent the state from violating the constitution and the law.
PTI spokesperson hoped that the SC would revive the constitutional right to a fair hearing by annulling the administrative and legislative measures taken in this regard.
