Case against Musharraf: Supreme Court to take up contempt application today

The Supreme Court on Monday will take up an application seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against former president Pervez Musharraf and former prime minister Shaukat Aziz who had not obeyed the restraining order issued by a seven-member bench on November 3, 2007.
Justice Javed Iqbal, the senior most judge of the apex court will take up the issue in his chamber. Abdul Razzaq, a resident of Abbottabad, through his counsel Muhammad Aslam Ghuman, had moved a petition against former president Pervez Musharraf, Shaukat Aziz and others. He had prayed that all the respondents be summoned and given exemplary punishment for violating the apex court's November 3, 2007 order.
