The Caretaker government of Sindh challenged the Supreme Court’s decision against trials of civilians in the military courts on Thursday. The plea moved by the Sindh government has stated that ‘SC did not review the law and circumstances.’
The Sindh government has pleaded with the superior court to nullify its verdict until the decision on the review plea as the accused demanded their trial in the military courts.
Earlier, the federal government informed the Supreme Court that military courts have initiated trials of civilians. The government in a miscellaneous petition to the apex court informed it about the beginning of trials of civilians in response to the court’s August 3 order. A total 102 individuals were arrested after May 9 and 10 incidents, the government said in its plea to the court.
