Supreme Court on Wednesday revoked death sentences for two accused in a case pertaining to the attack on former president Pervez Musharraf.

However, the apex court maintained Rana Naveed’s life imprisonment and Amir Sohail’s 20 year imprisonment sentences. On February 28, the Supreme Court reserved its judgment on the pleas against the procedure adopted by a military court to enhance the sentence of Rana Naveed and Amir Sohail who were convicted for their role in the suicide attack. They were convicted and awarded life term and 20-year jail terms, respectively, by a Field General Court Martial (FGCM) on July 21, 2005.

But later the life term was converted into death sentence.
