LAHORE: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government on Tuesday filed a plea in the Lahore High Court (LHC) requesting for naming more accused in high treason case against former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf.
During the proceedings on a petition against formation of special court to hear treason case, the prosecutor said that the government party wanted to nominate former prime minister Shaukat Aziz, former chief justice Abdul Hameed Dogar, former minister Zahid Hamid and Pervez Musharraf’s companions in the case.
The trial of all the accused on the same time is necessary, he added.
Justice Shahid Kareem remarked that the court was due to record final arguments in the case on Tuesday, but new pleas were submitted.
Meanwhile, Justice Nazar Akbar asked about the evidence against those named by the government as accused. The prosecutor said that investigation would be launched after filing of the petition.
On the other hand, Musharraf’s lawyer said that the decision could not be announced in any case without fulfilling legal requirements. “We cannot hear the case on assumptions only,” the court remarked.
