Transcript

00:00 Parvez Musharraf case may have a lawsuit on the special court of Lahore High Court

00:05 Chief Justice has asked,

00:07 Are there any questions on the appointment of a request to Lahore High Court?

00:10 We will get to know more details from Raja Mohsin Nijaz.

00:13 Yes, Raja Mohsin, tell us.

00:15 Look, today, the request of the former president, retired General Parvez Musharraf,

00:20 to give his sentence as a death penalty,

00:23 and the special court which was declared as death penalty by Lahore High Court,

00:28 has heard both these requests.

00:30 Today, at the beginning of the hearing, the former president's lawyer,

00:35 Barrister Salman Safzar, presented himself in court and said that

00:38 he still has no clear instructions from the former president's heirs regarding this case.

00:45 He tried to contact him 10 times in the past week,

00:49 but he could not contact him and neither do they have any clear instructions.

00:53 Along with this, a lawyer, maybe an advocate, also presented himself in court and said

00:59 that he had been a lawyer in many cases of the former president,

01:02 and when the special court gave him the death penalty, he gave me a message.

01:06 On this, the Chief Justice questioned him,

01:08 was it some secret message?

01:11 He said, "No, I cannot give this message to the court,

01:13 I just want to be a part of this case."

01:15 On this, the Chief Justice said that whatever you have to say,

01:18 you have to say it through Barrister Salman Safzar, who is representing the former president.

01:24 During this time, the Chief Justice also instructed Barrister Salman Safzar

01:28 to leave the courtroom right now and give the numbers of the former president's heirs,

01:35 including his daughter, son and wife, to the court.

01:40 Along with this, the second request was heard.

01:44 The court said that the heirs will be sent a notice on WhatsApp

01:49 and the one-week penalty was accepted in this case.

01:53 Along with this, the government of the time did not support the decision of the Lahore High Court.

02:00 The special court, which was declared a collusion,

02:03 when the case was closed, the Attorney General had a dialogue with the Additional Attorney General.

02:08 He asked, "Does the government of the time support the decision of the Lahore High Court or oppose it?"

02:14 The Additional Attorney General told the court that the government of the time will respect the Supreme Court's decision.

02:19 The government of the time respects the Supreme Court's decision.

02:22 The case of the Chief Justice was closed till 11.30 pm yesterday.

02:25 Raja Mohsin Iqbal, reporting for India, thank you.
