Islamabad:
The lawyer of the Ministry of Defense reported on Thursday the Constitutional Bank (CB) of the Supreme Court that the Special Courts were the courts that used special jurisdiction to prove criminal cases, and said that none of the defendants of May 9 had claimed not to receive a fair trial.
A CB of seven members, led by Judge Aminuddin Khan, continued the Intra-Court Appeals Hearing against the APEX Court ruling against the civil trial in the military courts.
The court asked the lawyer of the Khawais Defense Ministry to complete his arguments before Friday.
During the hearing, Judge Jamal Commandkhail commented that article 175 of the Constitution was the only article that described the establishment and jurisdiction of the courts.
However, Haris cited a previous case ruling that said that the martial and special courts of the Court were not under article 175.
On that, Judge Commandkhail asked the question, if the special courts could be called or not courts. Khawaja Haris replied that the special courts were the courts that made criminal trials, using special jurisdiction.
