ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) has fixed a hearing on a petition challenging civilian trials in military courts for December 9.
A constitutional bench, led by Justice Aminuddin Khan, will hear the appeals on December 9.
The six-member bench will also include Justices Jamal Khan Mandokhail, Muhammad Ali Mazhar, and Hassan Azhar Rizvi. Justices Musarrat Hilali and Naeem Akhtar Afghan will also be part of the bench.
The Supreme Court had previously declared the trials of civilians in military courts unconstitutional.
In response, both the federal and provincial governments, along with the Ministry of Defence, filed intra-court appeals against the ruling. The court had suspended its earlier decision pending the hearing of these appeals.
