A petition filed in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) requesting to continue hearing of a murder case against former president Pervez Musharraf for ordering military operation on Lal Masjid was accepted on Monday.
The petitioner, Haroon-ur-Rashid, son of late Ghazi Abdul Rashid, who had requested the court for the registration of an FIR against Musharraf for ordering the military operation, filed a petition in IHC seeking early hearing of the petition he filed on May 7, 2013.
During the last hearing of the case, Justice Noor-ul-Haq Qureshi heard the petition and issued notice to Aabpara police SHO.
The petitioner said it was clear that Musharraf had ordered the military operation and had confessed at various occasions that 94 people had been killed in the operation.
