The special court of Islamabad today delayed the hearing of former military ruler, Pervez Musharraf’s treason case without any court proceedings on a plea filed by Musharraf’s counsel Farogh Nasim according to media reports.
According to the registrar of Special Court Abdul Ghani Soomro, on Pervez Musharraf’s counsel Barrister Farogh Nasim’s plea the hearing of Musharraf’s case was adjourned without court proceedings. Farogh Nasim had filed a petition yesterday (Monday) citing that all the roads leading to Red Zone area have been blocked because of the ongoing sit-in protests by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) outside the parliament house, therefore, not only is reaching the court difficult but also security concerns are involved.
Farogh Nasim requested to delay the hearing of the case until at least two months. The court, however, delayed the hearing of Musharraf’s treason case till September 2.
