The military has received these cases after being forwarded by the provincial apex committees to the Interior Ministry. The armed forces will kick off the military courts by hearing the 12 initial cases that have been brought forth.
In wake of the attack on Army Public School in Peshawar that left over 130 children dead, the 21st amendment was passed in the parliament which states that military courts will be established to try terrorists.
