LAHORE: Establishment of military courts under 23rd Amendment has been challenged before the Supreme Court.
Barrister Zafarullah Khan of Watan Party filed a petition at the Lahore registry of the apex court pleading that the establishment of the military courts is against the basic spirit of the Constitution.
He contends that Article 175 of the Constitution defines separate roles for executive and judiciary. Therefore, he says, administrative officers cannot be appointed as judges.
He asks the court to declare the 23rd amendment void for being an extra constitutional act.

Barrister should know that everything has been done by the approval of parliament. Parliament has full power to amend the Constitution.
