- CJP Umar Ata Bandial instructed Attorney General Mansoor Usman Awan to obtain government's directives on Pakistan Army Act 1952, as the Army Act does not apply to all.
- Following this decision, PTI Chairman Imran Khan, former Chief Justice Jawwad S Khawaja, legal expert Aitzaz Ahsan, and five civil society members, including Piler Executive Director Karamat Ali, urged the apex court to declare military trials as 'unconstitutional'.
- In a petition filed through his lawyer, former CJP Khawaja argued that Section 2(1)(d)(i) and (ii) of the Pakistan Army Act were inconsistent with the fundamental rights granted by the Constitution and should be invalidated.
