Court tosses referendum suit
The Lahore High Court, Rawalpindi Bench, on Friday dismissed a petition challenging the holding of referendum by General Pervez Musharraf for extending his tenure as the president of Pakistan. Azmat Ali Qureshi had stated in his petition that Mr Musharraf being a government servant was not entitled to hold referendum to become the president.
I think this was the suit Qazi filed last week. Wasn't much of a chance of a ruling in his favor, especially since the origianl judge they shopped "wasn't available."
