ISLAMABAD: A trial court has accepted former military ruler retired Gen Pervez Musharraf’s request to postpone the hearing of a case pertaining to charges of high treason due to medical reasons.
A three-member bench headed by Justice Tahira Safdar adjourned the case hearing till June 12 when his counsel Salman Safdar told the court that his client could not travel to Pakistan due to his precarious health condition.
The court was told that he was ashamed and apologetic for not appearing in the court.
Musharraf on Thursday was scheduled to record his statement before the trial court, under the directives of the Supreme Court (SC), under Section 342 of the Criminal Procedure Code to complete the treason trial.
