ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -Pakistan's top court ruled on Monday that military trials of civilians are unconstitutional, a relief for dozens on trial for ransacking military installations during protests in May after the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The government had said it would use military courts to try the suspects, sparking fears over fair process.
