Former FATA cases: Supreme Court seeks Attorney General's input
The apex court sought legal input after hearing an appeal against a 14-year sentence, and it has not yet decided which forum should take former tribal area cases.
The Supreme Court wants legal input on whether it can hear former FATA cases after the 25th Constitutional Amendment.
The question came up in an appeal against a 14-year prison term tied to alleged support for Taliban militants.
Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad Khan asked whether any militants had been picked up from the man's home.
A joint investigation team report was mentioned by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa law officer during the hearing.
The court has not yet ruled on the jurisdiction question.
