Special court rejects Musharraf's plea to adjourn high treason case
|
[DAWN] A special court in Islamabad on Wednesday rejected former military dictator  Pervez Perv Musharraf
... former dictator of Pakistain, who was less dictatorial and corrupt than any Pak civilian government to date ...
's plea for adjournment of the hearing of a high treason case against him.
A three-judge bench headed by Justice Tahira Safdar also cancelled retired Gen Musharraf's right of defence due to his repeated non-appearance before the court.
Musharraf is facing a treason trial under Article 6 of the Constitution as well as Section 2 of the High Treason Act on a complaint moved by the federal government.
During the proceedings, Musharraf's lawyer Salman Safdar said that the former military dictator was "fighting for his life", adding that he was not physically or mentally capable of returning the country.
Musharraf's counsel said that he was embarrassed by repeatedly submitting requests to adjourn the case's hearing.
He said that his client was rapidly losing weight, adding that he was unable to walk and used a wheelchair.
Safdar asked for one more chance so that Musharraf could himself appear in court.
He said that the former military dictator was having "heart chemotherapy" because of which his health had deteriorated.
Sounds like fahsinosis of the blowhole. He might no be long for this world, maybe not for any other.
Justice Safdar remarked that the Supreme Court had given a verdict, to which the lawyer responded that he was aware of this and requested that the plea be accepted on the basis of compassion.
