KARACHI: The Anti-Terrorism Court on Tuesday turned down the application of defence lawyer Abdul Waheed Katpar that the Pervez Musharraf murder conspiracy case be moved to the session court. Announcing his decision, which he had reserved on Monday, Judge Aley Maqbool Rizvi said Section 61 of the Anti-Terrorism Court allowed the court to run the case. Katpar had filed an application on Friday arguing that the case did not qualify for trial in an anti-terrorism court because the motive of the killing was personal. He said police had given the reason that the accused intended to kill President Musharraf because they considered his policies anti-Islamic.
