Court cautioned against pushing for treason trial
[Pak Daily Times] General (r) Pervez Perv Musharraf
... former dictator of Pakistain, who was less dictatorial and corrupt than any Pak civilian government to date ...
's counsel has asked the Supreme Court to show restraint while passing any order in his case, arguing that otherwise it would give an impression that the court is interested in prosecuting Musharraf under treason charges. On the other hand, the Supreme Court questioned if the federation does not fulfil its constitutional obligation then should the apex court also not proceed against a person who had subverted and abrogated the constitution. Musharraf's counsel Advocate Ibrahim Satti told the three-member bench headed by Justice Jawwad S Khawaja that even a slight hint of registration of a complaint against Musharraf would prejudice the special court that will try his client, creating an impression that the court is interested in pressing treason charges. He stated that any intervention on part of the apex court on the registration of treason case against Musharraf will influence his defence before the trial court thus denying the opportunity of a fair trial.
