Petitioner in Abdul Rasheed Ghazi murder case, Haroon Rasheed stated that Musharraf’s name should be put in the ECL as it has been learnt that he intends to leave for Dubai before eid.
He further contended that like former ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani, Musharraf’s chances of returning to the country will fade if he leaves the country.
Moreover, Haroon Rasheed pleaded the court to order police to conclude the investigations.
The SC on Wednesday granted bail to former president Pervez Musharraf in the murder case of former Balochistan chief minister and chieftain of the Bugti tribe Nawab Muhammad Akbar Bugti.
Ahmed Raza Kasuri, the head of lawyers panel, claimed after the bail that his client was a free person and could go to Dubai any time. The former army chief had filed an appeal in the apex court against the Balochistan High Court’s rejection of his bail application in the Nawab Akbar Bugti murder case.
A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Nasir-ul-Mulk, Justice Sarmad Jalal Usmani and Justice Musheer Alam, granted him bail after finding no substantial evidence to involve him in the Nawab Akbar Bugti’s murder.
The court directed the former president to deposit two surety bonds of Rs1 million each with the Registrar of its office for bail. During the course of hearing, Jamil Bugti, son of Nawab Akbar Bugti who was a complainant in the instant case, did not turn up to attend the proceedings.
