Summary The Special Court had dismissed Mr Musharraf’s application seeking trial by a military court.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Supreme Court Registrar Office Tuesday raised objections over the petition filed by former President Pervez Musharraf seeking transfer of high treason case from Special Court to military court.
Musharraf filed a petition in the Supreme Court on Monday challenging the Special Court’s Feb 21 decision of going ahead with the high treason trial against him instead of referring it to a military court.
The Special Court, headed by Justice Faisal Arab of the Sindh High Court, had dismissed Mr Musharraf’s application seeking trial by a military court under the Pakistan Army Act (PAA) 1952.
The rejection was earlier challenged in the Islamabad High Court which on March 19 ruled that only the Supreme Court had the jurisdiction to decide the matter.
The petition in the apex court was filed by Gen Musharraf’s lawyers Sharifuddin Pirzada, Dr Khalid Ranjha, Anwar Mansoor Khan and Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif.
