| Musharraf assassination attempt: Case adjourned as defence loses file in riots | |
| 2008-01-06 | |
A court hearing the Musharraf assassination attempt case was forced to adjourn as the leading defense lawyer pled he had lost his case files when
Katpar was supposed to make final arguments before the court on Saturday after which a final judgment was likely to be issued. But when the proceedings began, he sought an adjournment on the grounds that on December 27 some people torched a bank in main Clifton, affecting his apartment, located on the same buildingÂ’s first floor. He said that the building had to be evacuated and he lost his file and case notes in the process. Special Public Prosecutor Niamat Ali Randhawa offered his file to Katpar and the court also offered the entire proceedings and a file to help him but, on his request, the proceedings were adjourned till Tuesday. The accused, including Muhammad Imran, Muhammad Haneef, Muhammad Ashraf, Sharib alias Arsalan Farooqui and Inspector Waseem of the Pakistan Rangers, are charged and being tried for conspiring and attempting to kill General Musharraf during his visit to Karachi in April 2001. | |
