Barrister Gohar: Faiz Hameed’s Case to Be Handled Under Army Act

Barrister Gohar has clarified that the case against former ISI official Faiz Hameed falls under the jurisdiction of the Army Act and will be handled by a military tribunal. This means that his trial, investigation, and potential punishment will be decided within the framework of military law rather than civilian courts. The case involves allegations of corruption and misuse of power during Faiz Hameed’s tenure.

The Army Act allows for strict accountability measures for serving and retired military personnel, and Faiz Hameed’s alleged actions will be thoroughly scrutinized under its provisions. Barrister Gohar emphasized the military’s autonomy in such matters, highlighting that any decisions regarding Hameed’s punishment will be made by the military judiciary, as per legal procedures defined in the Army Act.

This development has drawn significant public attention, further intensifying debates over transparency and justice within Pakistan’s civil and military institutions.
