Lawyers representing former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf could not meet their client despite Supreme Court’s order on Monday.

According to sources, the Registrar of the Supreme Court also called to permit the lawyers to meet Pervez Musharraf. However, the lawyers could not meet him.

Ahmad Raza Kasuri, one of the lawyers representing Musharraf, told reporters that the jail officials barred the lawyers from meeting their client and that they were asked to bring a permit from the Punjab government.

In protest, the lawyers’ team returned from Chak Shahzad farmhouse that is currently serving as a sub-jail for Musharraf.

Ahmad Raza Kasuri told that the time granted by the Supreme Court had expired and they had to return to the court.

Notification challenged

The notification that declared Musharraf’s farmhouse as sub-jail was challenged in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday.

According to a private television channel, advocate Ashraf Gujjar challenged the notification and made a plea that Musharraf should be sent to Rawalpindi Adiala jail as someone accused of terrorism could not choose imprisonment of his choice.

He said that keeping Musharraf at sub-jail was a violation of high court and trial court orders.
