A special court
hearing treason case against former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf
will decide to charge-sheet him on February 21. A three judge bench headed by
Justice Faisal Arab resumed the hearing during which Pervez Musharraf also
appeared.
The court decided not to indict Musharraf today, and said it would
first give verdict on whether it could hear the case, or the same be
transferred to military court. The special court said that framing of charges
against the Musharraf will be done after taking a decision over application
against the court’s authority. After court's remarks the hearing was adjourned
and Musharraf left the premises.
Earlier, Musharraf appeared before a special
court after much wrangling. He arrived at the court’s premises under very tight
security. Musharraf was to appear before the court on Jan. 2 but his convoy was
diverted to Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) – where he was under
treatment for heart problems.
The special court, headed by Justice Faisal Arab,
resumed its proceeding earlier today and reserved ruling on a plea about
shifting of Musharraf's trial to the military court- Online
