Karachi
January 21, 2021
The military trial of Uzair Jan Baloch was neither mala fide (in bad faith) nor coram non judice (without jurisdiction) and no fundamental right, including the right to a free trial, guaranteed under the constitution was violated, the Ministry of Defence told the Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday.
Filing comments on a petition of the alleged Lyari gangster’s family challenging his conviction by a military court on charges of espionage, the Ministry of Defence and the judge advocate general said the findings of the field general court martial (FGCM) were based on legally admissible evidences that proved espionage charges against Baloch in pith and substance.
