The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has opposed the decision to trial perpetrators and miscreants involved in the attack on Jinnah House in Lahore in military courts.
In a statement released by the SCBA, it strongly condemned the recent attack on Jinnah House and military installations, emphasizing the significance of upholding the rule of law and protecting national security and stability.
The attack on historical and cultural landmarks, such as Jinnah House, is seen as an assault on Pakistan’s identity, heightening the urgency for effective measures to maintain law and order.
While acknowledging the importance of preserving peace and order, the association underscores that ensuring justice and fair trials are equally crucial.
The association firmly asserted that conducting trials for acts of violence in military courts, as opposed to civilian courts, would run contrary to constitutional principles.
