Supreme Court stays execution of military court
The 21st Constitutional Amendment, which had paved the way for setting up the military courts to try civilian suspects of terrorism for two years, will become ineffective in the first week of January 2017. The military courts could survive only through another constitutional amendment aimed at extending the two-year deadline in the self-contained sunset clause of the 21st Amendment.
