A five-member constitutional bench headed by Justice Amin Ud Din Khan heard the cases.
On the query of Justice Amin, Advocate Hamid Khan said that the petition has prayed to form a judicial commission on incidents of May 9, and stop civilians’ trial in army courts.
Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar remarked that the prayer regarding the civilians’ trial in army courts has become ineffective as a separate proceeding is being run in this regard.
He questioned whether the bench could view the matter of the formation of a judicial commission in section 3 of Article 184.
Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar asked the lawyer whether they had prayed to form a judicial commission in main appeals against civilians’ trials in military court to which Hamid Khan answered in negative.
Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail noted that you have written in your application that dozens of citizens died in the May 9 incident. Have you attached the death certificate of any citizen who died on May 9? Show us a certificate, he asked the lawyer.
Justice Amin Ud Din Khan raised the question of whether any private complaint was filed regarding civilian deaths. If any FIR has been filed, show it.
The Supreme Court’s constitution bench adjourned the hearing indefinitely, giving time to the PTI to submit more documents.
