"Soon"

That's when the Supreme Court of Pakistan's Constitutional Bench will get around to deciding the Intra-Court Appeals in the case challenging the military trial of civilians. Having trouble following the ins-and-outs? Here's a helpful, albeit discouraging, Express Tribune article on the current state of affairs. Excerpt:

The court's inability to decide the case has sparked speculation, highlighting an internal conflict within the SC as the primary cause for this delay.

The legal tactics employed by the petitioners seem to have failed to grease the wheels of justice and expedite the resolution of the case.

In December last year, a larger bench led by Justice Sardar Tariq Masood had suspended the SC judgement and allowed the trial of civilians in military courts without announcement of judgement.

After a couple of months of hearing, Justice Sardar Tariq recused himself after objections were raised against Justice Masood. Subsequently, a larger bench led by Justice Aminuddin Khan was formed to hear the matter. The same bench also conditionally allowed the trial of civilians in military courts.

More than a dozen individuals were released after completing their sentence. The bench again referred the matter to the SC committee for the constitution of a new larger bench.

When the bench started hearing, the summer vacation started and the case was adjourned for an indefinite period. Now the bench is expected to resume the hearing soon.

Clear?
