The Supreme Court of Pakistan adjourned the hearing over the treason case against Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf until May 22, whereas an Anti Terrorism Court (ATC) in Rawalpindi reserved its decision over a bail petition filed by the counsel of former president in the Benazir murder case on Monday, local media reported.
Supreme Court’s Justice Jawwad S. Khawaja remarked during the Musharraf treason case hearing that the viewpoint of the parliament was crucial to the case adding that the parliament had already legislated the punishment for treason and the Federal Interior Secretary must be the complainant in treason cases.
Moreover a special ATC in Rawalpindi reserved its judgement over a bail petition filed by the counsel of former military ruler Musharraf in the Benazir murder case .
The Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) prosecutor objected to the petition over the grounds that Musharraf might flee the country in case he was granted bail.
The bench reserved its judgement over bail petition.
