The Islamabad High Court (IHC) to announce reserved judgment in a plea filed by former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, former Federal Minister Zahid Hamid and former Chief Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar, on 10 November.
A division bench comprising Justice Noorul Haq N Qureshi and Justice Aamir Farooq announced the judgment which was reserved earlier after completing the arguments by the litigants.
The petitioners challenged their nomination ordered by a special court to try them as abettor in the high treason case initiated against former President, General (retd) Pervaiz Musharraf on the act of imposition emergency in the country on November 3, 2007.
Earlier, Additional attorney general Afnan Karim Kundi contended before the court that the federal government was ready to examine the role of any abettor for imposing emergency but he requested the court to expunge the remarks made by the special court against the federal government and the investigating agency.
Barrister Farogh Nasim, the counsel of General Musharraf, while requesting the court to direct the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to re-investigate in a fair and transparent manner, pleaded before the court that the former military ruler imposed emergency on the advice of the then prime minister Aziz and the federal cabinet.
