1-day exemption granted to Musharraf in Ghazi murder case

ISLAMABAD: The Additional Session Judge, Wajid Ali on Saturday here granting former president Pervez Musharraf exemption from appearing before the court today summoned him for appearance on March 15 in the Ghazi Abdul Rasheed murder case, Geo News reported.

During the hearing, a petition on behalf of Pervez Musharraf was filed seeking exemption from appearance.

Plaintiff’s lawyer Asad Advocate raising objection on the petition said that the law applies to everyone equally, Pervez Musharraf is feigning sickness and medical report has also not been submitted in the court. He, therefore, demanded that the bail of the nominated accused should be terminated, warrant of his arrest be issued and summoned to the court.

The court granting exemption for one-day to Pervez Musharraf summoned him for appearance on March 15 and adjourned the hearing until then.
