Court to announce Musharraf treason case verdict on November 28

• Musharraf left the country in 2016 for medical treatment after his name was removed from no-fly list.
• He was indicted by the special court in the treason case back in 2014.

A special court in Islamabad reserved its verdict on the treason case against former President General (retd) Pervez Musharraf.

A three-member bench, headed by Justice Waqar Ahmad Seth, resumed the hearing on Tuesday. Neither Musharraf's lawyer nor anyone from the government were present for the case proceedings. Justice Seth said that Musharraf's counsel could submit written arguments by November 26. The bench also said that it will announce its verdict on November 28, local media reported.

The bench is hearing the case of imposition of extra-constitutional emergency by Musharraf in 2007. The treason case has been pending since December 2013. Back in 2014, Musharraf was indicted by the special court when he appeared and rejected all charges against him.

He then left the country in 2016 for medical treatment, after the Supreme Court removed his name from the Exit Control List.
