Islamabad: Justice Jamal Mand okhail has raised question that can any person who is not part of army come under ambit of military court on the basis of only offence.

"what are the powers of military courts according to army act. Is section 2-D like our army act anywhere in world, he gave these remarks during hearing of trial of civilians in military courts case Tuesday.

Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar remarked army act becomes applicable at that time when civilians tried to incite army personnel. Is article 10-A meant for civilians only or it is applicable to military personnel as well.

Suleman Akram Raja advocate replied I have made enormous research but no such section is like this in the world. Article 175-3 of the constitution ensures independent trial. I want to present comparative review of Indian army act and Pakistan army act. It cannot become so that one SHO conducts court by oneself. Appeal is heard by SP and IG endorses it.

A 7-member larger bench of SC constitutional bench presided over by Justice Amin ud Din Khan took up the case for hearing Tuesday.

Hearing of military courts case was adjourned till Monday. Suleman Akram Raja will continue his arguments on Monday.
