In a twist to ongoing judges’ detention case, three lawyers on Saturday refused to record their statements at Pervez Musharraf’s Chak Shahzad farmhouse which was declared sub-jail by the court.
According to media reports, three lawyers, Wajid Gilani, Fazlur Rehman Niazi and Anwar Khan, have turned down the option of going to the Chak Shahzad farmhouse where currently Musharraf is being held.
The lawyers were of the view that they would not go to the former dictator’s house to record their statements but they were willing to use Adiala Jail or a local court in Islamabad as the venue.
The anti-terrorism court (ATC) had issued summons to 15 witnesses to submit their statements in the judges’ detention case. ATC judge Kausar Abbas Zaidi has arrived at the Chak Shahzad sub-jail.
