The SC provided a week’s time to counsel for Pervez Musharraf as per request made by the former for making preparations for the petition seeking transfer of Akbar Bugti murder case from Quetta to Islamabad.
A 2-member bench of SC led by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa took up the two cases for hearing on Wednesday.
During the hearing of the judges’ detention case, the court was told that the petitioner Aslam Ghumman is not present without any information nor has he made any request for seeking adjournment of the case. The court dismissed the petition being not contested.
