The Supreme Court on Thursday adjourned the treason case against former military ruler General (r) Pervez Musharraf for an indefinite period to hold consultations over setting up of a special court to hear the case against the former military ruler.
The apex court also rejected a plea to order the formal arrest of Musharraf citing that no formal charges against the former president had been put before the court.
Earlier, Attorney General Munir A Malik submitted the government’s line of action in the case which said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had ordered the Federal Investigative Agency (FIA) to conduct an inquiry into the actions of Musharraf on November 3, 2007, the day when he held the Constitution in abeyance and imposed emergency in the country, sacking dozens of judges of the superior courts.
Later, the bench headed by Justice Jawwad S Khawaja adjourned the hearing to hold consultations with the chief justice over the constitution of a special court to hear the treason case.
All concerned quarters must move very cautiously. Tomorrow PPP would claim an other shaheed, though there is a room for Zardari or the crown prince junior zardari to become shheed.
This is not going to end well
