Former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf’s counsel Thursday filed an appeal in the Supreme Court against the decision of a special court not to allow the high treason case against his client to be held in a military court.
The former army chief is facing the charge of high treason, which can carry the death sentence, for imposing Emergency and subverting the constitution in 2007.
Earlier, the special court, which was set up to try Musharraf, raised objections against the defendant’s appeal to conduct the treason trial in a military court.
The court had ruled that the treason trial of the former president would not take place in a military court and had summoned him before it on March 11.
