ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court’s Constitutional Bench on Friday granted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) additional time to provide further documents in its petition seeking the formation of a judicial commission to investigate the events of May 9.
A five-member bench, led by Justice Aminuddin Khan, heard arguments from PTI founder’s counsel, Hamid Khan.
During the proceedings, Justice Khan asked the counsel to clarify the main requests in the petition. Advocate Hamid Khan stated that PTI had urged the formation of a judicial commission comprising the Chief Justice and two senior Supreme Court judges to probe the May 9 incident. Additionally, the petition called for an end to the trial of civilians in military courts.
Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar pointed out that the issue of civilian trials in military courts had become irrelevant since a separate case on the matter was already being heard. He further questioned whether the formation of a judicial commission could be considered under Article 184(3) of the Constitution. In response, Advocate Khan emphasized that May 9 was a significant national tragedy, yet no judicial inquiry had been conducted so far.
Justice Mazhar inquired whether PTI had previously requested the formation of a judicial commission in the case related to military court trials, to which Hamid Khan replied in the negative.
Meanwhile, Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail noted that PTI’s petition claimed multiple civilians were killed during the May 9 events. He asked whether any death certificates had been attached to substantiate this claim. He further questioned whether any private complaints had been filed or First Information Reports (FIRs) registered in connection with the civilian deaths.
Justice Aminuddin Khan also sought clarification on whether any independent complaints had been lodged regarding these alleged deaths and requested evidence of any FIRs.
Justice Hassan Azhar Rizvi suggested that news reports on civilian casualties from May 9 could have been included as supporting material.
Following these discussions, the bench allowed PTI more time to submit additional documents and adjourned the hearing indefinitely.
