Lahore: Justice Azmat Saeed of the Lahore High Court has requested the Supreme Court of Pakistan to constitute a larger bench for conducting hearing of high treason case against former military ruler Pervez Musharraf. Last month, the LHC issued notices to the federation to file a high treason case against former president Musharraf.
The notices were issued after a petition was filed by advocate Ilamuddin Ghazi under Article 6, seeking registration of the case.
The petitioner alleged that Musharraf violated his oath as an army officer by abrogating the constitution and dismissing an elected government.
The petitioner stated that Musharraf had violated the constitution by detaining several judges of the superior judiciary and even placed the Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and his family under house arrest.
