The government told the court about the development related to trials in the military court in a miscellaneous application following orders of the top court on August 3, highlighting that at least 102 people were taken into custody due to their involvement in the attacks on military installations and establishments.
The development comes a day before a five-member apex court bench — headed by Justice Ijazul Ahsan, and comprising Justice Munib Akhtar, Justice Yahya Afridi, Justice Sayyed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi and Justice Ayesha Malik — is scheduled to hear pleas challenging the trial of civilians in military courts.
"The accused persons were taken into custody during the month of May this year and have been in jug since then. The accused have been taken into custody under the Pakistain Army Act, 1952 read with the Official Secrets Act, 1923 for attacking military installations/establishments," the government stated, in its application.
The application mentioned that since these trials have already begun, it is important that they are conducted and concluded to ensure fairness towards the "accused persons".
"To safeguard the interests of the accused persons, it is imperative that their trials are conducted and concluded so that those who may merit acquittal can be acquitted and those who may merit minor sentences and have already served the time in jug can also be released," it further read.
The application also stated that if the accused persons are convicted, they can also avail remedies under the law.
