The Supreme Court of Pakistan has suspended its October 23 unanimous ruling nullifying  civilians' trials in military courts in connection with the May 9 riots. 

The verdict, announced by a six-member bench with 5-1 majority, on a set of intra-court appeals challenging its previous order, stated that the military trials of 103 civilians for their alleged role in attacks on military installations during the riots on May 9 would continue.

The six-member bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice Sardar Tariq Masood and comprising Justice Aminuddin Khan, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi, Justice Musarrat Hilali, and Justice Irfan Saadat Khan heard the case. Justice Hilali differed with the majority decision.
