00:00 And here we will give you important news.
00:02 In the military courts, the Supreme Court has revoked the full court's ruling on the civilians' trial.

00:14 Raja Mohsin Nijaz is with us. We will learn more from him. Update us.
00:18 The Supreme Court of Pakistan has revoked the full court's ruling. The Chief Justice of Pakistan has said in a brief statement that
00:30 the judges are on leave and many are returning from their leave to deal with the judicial issues.
00:39 While some judges are waiting to be released. Therefore, the full court's ruling is not possible.
00:49 And it is a matter of time.
00:51 He also said that we have made larger benches at different occasions.
00:56 Larger bench means a bench with more than 5 judges. 7 member benches were made. 9 member benches were made.
01:03 However, due to various reasons, those benches could not work. He indicated that when some judges separated themselves from the bench,
01:11 as was the case in this military court case, initially there were 9 member benches and then 2 judges were separated.
01:17 Then the government denied on the third one.
01:19 So the Chief Justice said in the same way that whenever a large bench was made, it could not work due to various reasons.
01:27 The court is on leave and the issue of the judicial signature is there. All the judicial signatures were made on the bench.
01:34 However, in such a situation, the full court cannot be established and it is not available to you at the moment.
01:41 And along with this, the Attorney General of Pakistan also came to the fore in the case of the case of Samad.
01:48 He once again made the court believe that whoever is facing a military trial or is being transferred,
02:02 no misbehavior or wrongful accusations will be reported to anyone.
02:08 People are living under a good system and if no one signs anything like this, then a strict action will be taken against it.
02:17 The magistrate who was handed over to the previous case,
02:21 the magistrate could not take the statement of a person on behalf of the Attorney General of Pakistan that his physical condition was bad.
02:29 He said that he is not one of the two people who are currently facing a military trial.
02:35 The Supreme Court has extended the term of the full court on the request of the civilians of the military courts.

04:50 The accused has been assured of meeting the lawyer of the court and the court has been assured of including the reasons in the record of the evidence.
05:03 He said that yesterday a lawyer was told about the situation of the accused.
05:08 I have personally obtained information about all the accused.
05:11 None of the 102 accused are in any critical condition. If there is any such sign, then a strict investigation will be carried out.
05:20 The people who are in the military now are in a proper system.
05:24 It is not possible that the statement of the magistrate was made in front of the magistrate.
05:30 The record of the accused should not be taken by the magistrate.
05:33 His physical condition is very bad.
