Musharraf treason case deferred after lawyers’ boycott

ISLAMABAD: The special formed to hear the treason case against for president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf has deferred the hearing until tomorrow (Wednesday).

The defence and prosecution lawyers boycotted court proceedings on the call of the Pakistan Bar Council to observe a countrywide strike in protest of the Islamabad terror attack.

Sources said the defence and prosecution lawyers had informed the registrar of their mutual decision to seek excuse from appearance in the court today due to the strike.

As such, even the judges of the special court had not come to the court.
