The Lahore High Court verdict against the special court in Musharraf case was challenged in the Supreme Court on Monday.
A bench of the high court had granted a petition of former president Pervez Musharraf on January 13 and declared formation of special court to hear high treason case against him as unlawful.
Justice Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi had announced the court verdict.
Petitioner Taufiq Asif, a former president of the high court’s Rawalpindi Bar, has challenged the LHC decision. The petitioner has pleaded the supreme court to declare the verdict of the high court as ‘unconstitutional’ and thus null and void.
The petition argues that the petition against the special court was out of the jurisdiction of the Lahore High Court. The Article VI of the constitution was also not interpreted properly in the verdict, according to the petition.—INP
