The Lahore High CourtÂ’s Rawalpindi bench on Monday allowed four convicts to appeal their death penalty awarded for their involvement in the murder attempt on President General Pervez Musharraf in 2003. A military court had awarded death to six people for their involvement in the murder attack on December 25, 2003, which killed 14 people. The court has also awarded life imprisonment to two other men and freed one in the same case. The military court had dismissed the appeals of Zubair Ahmed, Rashid Quraishi, Ghulam Sarwar Bhatti and a Russian national Ahmed Ikhlas against their death penalty last month. The Lahore High Court in its earlier hearing dismissed their appeals on the ground that appeals against the death sentence awarded by the military court was beyond their jurisdiction. However the convictsÂ’ lawyers, Col (r) Muhammad Akram and Hashmat Habib, argues that LHC judge Justice Akhtar Shabir had dismissed the High Court registrarÂ’s objection and accepted their appeals for regular hearing.
