Pakistan Supreme Court Empowers Army Chief Asim Munir: Unthinkable Under Indian Law

The Pakistan Supreme Court’s ruling permits military trials for civilians, reinstating sections of the Pakistan Army Act. This decision overturns a prior ruling and strengthens Army Chief General Asim Munir’s influence amidst rising tensions. Critics argue it undermines judicial independence and grants the military greater control over political dissent, contrasting sharply with India’s legal protections for civilians.
