The Supreme Court on Monday declared null and void the trial of civilians in military courts, Dunya News reported.
The court announced its reserved ruling with 4-1 majority after hearing the arguments.
In its short order, the apex court said trial of civilians could not be conducted in military courts and the Section 2 (D) (I) was unconstitutional. The top court accepted all the petitions against military court trials of civilians.
The Supreme Court also ordered sending cases of May 9 accused to civil courts.
It further said the trial of 103 accused charged with May 9 events could only be conducted in ciriminal courts. Justice Yahya Afridi differed with the majority opinion.
