The special court on Tuesday issued show-cause notice to Interior Ministry for not providing details of assets of former president and army chief Pervez Musharraf in treason case.
A bench of the special court which was headed by Justice Mian Mazhar Alam Miankhel and comprised Justice Tahira Safdar and Justice Yawar Ali heard the case against the former president.
During the hearing, justice Miankhel remarked that there was no need of counsel for the defence after the court declared Musharraf an absconder.
Justice Miankhel remarked that the Interior Ministry is the petitioner however, no details have been provided in the matter so far.
The court besides the Interior Ministry, also issued notice to the Federal Investigation Agency and summoned details of Musharraf’s assets once again.
At this point, Musharraf’s counsel, Ahmed Raza Kasuri observed that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is the petitioner in the case and wants his client to ‘pay’ for sending him out of Pakistan.
The court rejected the Interior Ministry’s unconditional apology, extended by its legal representatives in the court and adjourned the hearing till July 19.
The prosecution told the court that advertisements are placed for accused’s appearance.
The former president is facing a case for violating and subverting Constitution by proclamation of emergency in the country on November 3, 2007.
It should be mentioned here that Supreme Court had allowed Musharraf to travel abroad earlier and he is currently in Dubai.
