An application was filed on behalf of former military ruler General (r) Pervez Musharraf on Friday for exemption from attendance in a court pertaining to the Benazir Bhutto murder case.
The plea was filed in Rawalpindi’s Anti Terrorism Court (ATC). In the application, Musharraf requested the court to allow him exemption from attending the hearing due to security concerns.
The Benazir Bhutto murder case’s hearing was adjourned until May 14.
Although Musharraf’s legal battles have provided an electrifying sideshow in the election race, he commands scant popular support and the outcome of the drama is unlikely to have much impact on the final results.
