• Special court rejects former army strongman’s plea for permission to go abroad for medical treatment
• Issues bailable arrest warrants if former general doesn’t appear in court on 9th
The special court constituted to try former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf for high treason charges on Friday rejected his application seeking permission for medical treatment outside Pakistan and issuing his bailable arrest warrant, summoned him on February 9.
Earlier on Friday, the three-member special court headed by Justice Faisal Arab had reserved its decision on the medical report of the former president. While announcing its decision later in the day, the court issued bailable arrest warrants against the former strongman.
Reading out its decision, the court said Musharraf’s medical report submitted by the doctors did not state that he could not appear before the judges, adding that there was no choice but to issue an arrest warrant against him.
The court rejected Musharraf’s application seeking consent for medical treatment overseas and ruled that his application was inadmissible. Moreover, it ordered the Islamabad Inspector General of Police (IG) to ensure that Musharraf complied with the warrants against him.
The court, saying that Musharraf had failed to give appropriate justification over his non-appearance in the court, set bail bonds at Rs 2.5 million. The verdict, read by Registrar Abdul Ghani also stated that Musharraf had been allowed to move freely within the country.
The rejected medical report stated that Musharraf needed to undergo an angiography on immediate bases, but the former president had not provided his consent to undergo the life saving surgery in Pakistan and wanted to go abroad for treatment.
Earlier, prosecutor Akram Shekih had requested the court to reject Musharraf’s medical report as it was unprofessional and did not include relevant test records. Akram Sheikh had submitted 13 objections on the report which was prepared by doctors of the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC).
These judges will sell their mother for a few rupees. Nothing in this case has been on merit. My dog would have more knowledge than these judges. Shame on Pakistan army for letting this happen to a soldier who fought for the country and risked his life for the sake of saving the country.
Musharaf fought two war for Pakistan. What have these F*cK*ng judges have done. They will sell their mother to promote self interest. The way courts in Pakistan operarte is most SHARMNAK.
