The LHC sends a notice to the base commander


RAWALPINDI:

On Friday, the LHC Rawalpindi Bench issued notice to base commander Murid Chakwal in a petition regarding military trial of a civilian under the new constitutional amendment.

Colonel (retd) Inamur Rahiem argued that Waqar Haider is a civilian and an employee in a low-level position at the base.

Responding to a petition filed by his mother, Rubina Kausar, PAF Base Murid submitted before the court that he is being tried under the Official Secrets Act, 1923.

The petition argued that under the new constitutional amendment, no civilian can be tried by a military court.
