On Tuesday, a special court formed to hear a high treason case against former president Pervez Musharraf had sentenced the former dictator to death for imposing a state of emergency on November 3, 2007. It had added that it found Musharraf guilty of high treason according to Article 6 of the Constitution of Pakistan.

It was a majority verdict, with two of the three judges giving the decision against Musharraf. SHC's Justice Akbar had dissented from the verdict.

The verdict was received with "lot of pain and anguish" by Pakistan Army, while the government, too, had expressed its reservations, saying the requirements for a fair trial under Article 10-A were not fulfilled in the case.
