Summary Former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf gets one-day exemption from court appearance.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Anti-terrorism Court (ATC) on Friday granted one-day exemption to former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf from court appearance in judges detention case.
Anti-terrorism Court Judge Atique-ur-Rehman resumed the hearing of judges’ detention case here on Friday.
Pervez Musharaf’s lawyer Ilyas Siddiqui could not appear before the court as he was busy in pursuing other cases in the Supreme Court. The court accepted the medical certificate of the former president submitted by his lawyers in past dates.
Prosecutor Amir Nadeem Tabish opposed giving exemption to Pervez Musharraf. He took the stance the 17 hearings of the case have already been postponed and the former president was not appearing on the pretext of his heath condition.
The prosecutor pleaded to the court to take action against the guarantors of the former president for their continuous absence from appearance.
Later, the court ordered to submit medical certificate of Pervez Musharraf on next hearing and adjourned the case until July 11.
