Treason trial: Petition against Akram Sheikh’s appointment as Musharraf’s prosecutor suspended

ISLAMABAD-

A special court constituted for the treason trial of former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf on Friday suspended the petition filed against the appointment of chief prosecutor Akram Sheikh, a private news channel reported.

According to the report, the court ruling was reserved on March 20 and on Friday the Special Court Registrar Abdul Ghani Soomro announced the decision.

The ruling stated that the petition filed by the former president’s counsel Anwar Mansoor against the appointment of Sheikh as the prosecutor was not maintainable, adding that the High Court had already given its verdict over this matter and this court does not have the jurisprudence to hear the case.
