The Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday said it would start hearing of the petitions filed against the trial of civilians in military courts on July 18, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
A six-member larger bench, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Umar Ata Bandial, will hear the petitions.
Other members on the bench are Justice Ijazul Ahsan, Justice Yahya Afridi, Justice Muneeb Akhtar, Justice Mazahir Ali Akbar Naqvi and Justice Ayesha Malik.
The court issued notices to parties to the case.
The trial of civilians in military courts in the aftermath of incidents of violence on May 9 has generated a lot of controversy of late.
While the opposition parties, particularly the PTI, have been voicing concern over it, those in the ruling Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) have been mostly supportive of it.
Several government and military installations were vandalized and torched on that day by angry mobs who registered their protest against the arrest of PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
