Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, as the Chief Justice of Pakistan, headed the Full Court on July 31, 2009, that Musharraf imposed an emergency on November 3, 2007 and violated the constitution and should be tried for serious treason.news world ahmed
Not only was this decision given, but later it was also said that the decision should be implemented in a timely manner. The PPP government successfully pulled its foot in the implementation of the decision and did not file a serious treason complaint against Musharraf.current world news
The PPP, however, welcomed the special court's imposition of ex-officio death sentence. Shortly after Nawaz Sharif's government in 2013, the chief justice started urging the government to execute the verdict and launch Musharraf's trial on serious treason charges. However, she was apparently hesitant as she did not want to cause a crisis because her new period had just begun.
Iftikhar Chaudhry initiated the proceedings and at one point threatened that he would initiate contempt of court proceedings against Nawaz Sharif on the continued order of the court. After all, the Prime Minister had no other choice but to start Musharraf's trial. The Prime Minister came to the Assembly and announced the formation of a special court.current world news
Trial against Musharraf begins Nawaz Sharif was one of the key figures in Musharraf's culpability, which cost him a heavy price. Earlier in October 1999, the same dictator ousted him from martial law and deported him to Saudi Arabia.current world news
Besides a Chief Justice (Iftikhar Chaudhry), a Prime Minister (Nawaz Sharif) and a lawyer (Akram Sheikh), two judges of the Special Courts - Chief Justice Waqar Ahmed Seth of the Peshawar High Court and Shahid Karim of Lahore High Court, who were Musharraf. Termed as a serious treachery, he gave a very bold decision which has created a riot not only in Pakistan but also abroad.
It is for the first time in the history of Pakistan that a High Trial case has been initiated against Article VII in the constitution and the offender has been convicted. The third fearless role is that of Advocate Akram Sheikh, who acted as special prosecutor appointed by the federal government.current world news
With special force in the special court, they had to endure many hardships and losses in the process of this case. It is a result of his professional efforts that Musharraf was sentenced. This decision is nothing short of a blast for the fierce former ruler. The special tribunal has made a new date.
Musharraf has the right to approach the Supreme Court that he is about to exercise. However, the question will arise about the rights of a fugitive because it is generally argued that such an accused is deprived of the rights that are generally available to others.current world news
