Islamabad: Federal government submitted its response to the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the case against the trial of civilians in military courts.
In a written reply, federal government requested the Supreme Court to reject the petitions, stating that they should be dismissed as inadmissible.
It has also been stated that trial in military courts does not deprive constitutional rights, attacks on military installations should be tried in military courts.
The Federal Government is of the opinion that Army Act and the Official Secrets Act predate the Constitution, which have not been challenged till date. All the actions taken under these Acts are valid as per the law.
The reply stated that military installations were systematically targeted on May 9. The attacks were aimed at devaluing the country's security and the military. The attacks on properties across the country in a short period of time are evidence of a well-planned attack.
