“I shall not hear the plea for cancelling the bail granted by the high court,” the chief justice said and directed the Supreme Court’s office to send the case filed by advocate Aslam Ghumman to another bench. The court office had placed the appeal before a bench headed by the chief justice who had also remained in detention until his reinstatement in March 2009.
On June 11, the IHC had granted bail to the former president on a surety bond of Rs500,000. A division bench of the high court held there was no record to determine MusharrafÂ’s role in placing over 60 judges in detention.
Ghumman filed the petition, challenging the IHCÂ’s order of granting bail to Musharraf after removing terrorism from the charge-sheet and requesting the apex court to set aside the decision and order his arrest.
