The military trials of civilians arrested after violent protests in the country on May 9 were backed by a resolution passed by the upper house of Parliament on Monday. However, a five-member Supreme Court bench had previously declared the military trials of civilians for their alleged role in attacks on army installations unconstitutional, stating that the cases would proceed before criminal courts instead. The resolution expressed solidarity with the families of martyrs and criticized the court’s decision for lacking stringent justice. It also called on the apex court to reconsider its decision in order to address the concerns raised regarding the ramifications of the judgment on the security and stability of the nation.
