RAWALPINDI – The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Rawalpindi on Friday accepted former president Pervez Musharraf's plea seeking exemption from appearance in the court for one day in judges' detention case.
ATC Judge Attiqur Rehman was hearing the case. Two guarantors of Pervez Musharraf appeared in the court. During the hearing, defence lawyer Safdar Javed presented medical report of his client (Musharraf) in the court. The lawyer also submitted an application in the court, seeking exemption from attending the court proceeding for one day. Public Prosecutor Aamir Nadeem Tabish raised objection on application and absence of Musharraf in the court.
He told the court that Musharraf has not been appearing before the court since last 19 hearings. The prosecutor appealed the court to reject medical report of Musharraf and take action against guarantors in judge detention case. The court accepting the application gave exemption and again summoned Musharraf on October 13 in the next hearing.
