Special Court asks Interior Ministry to submit response in high treason case

ISLAMABAD: The Special Court on Tuesday asked the Interior Ministry to submit a response over not providing details of former president Pervez Musharraf’s property in the high treason case.

The three-member Special Court under Justice Mazhar Alam Mian Khel heard the case.

The court observed that the ex-president did not present before it despite its constant summons.

Justice Khel said that Pervez Musharraf's lawyers would not be given further chances for hearing.

The justice said that Musharraf’s lawyers would be allowed to sit during the hearing although the court would not hear their arguments.

The court remarked that the prosecution also expressed lack of interest in the proceedings.

The court subsequently adjourned the hearing until July 19.

In March 2014, Musharraf was formally indicted over treason charges for imposing emergency and the Provisional Constitutional Order on November 3, 2007.
