Former military dictator Musharraf handed death sentence in high treason case

Pakistan judicial system is run by Gandoooos

By that comparison the executive running the whole country looks like the epic brain child of LGBT, figuratively speaking.

Any kutta billa in the region and beyond has been using them like the tissue papers they are

I don't understand this judgement. Musharraf brought in progressive ideas like "Enlightened Moderation" and spoke of peace with India. More than once, terrorists tried to kill him. Compare that to Nawaz Sharif who I suppose is seen favorably by TTP and the like.

What instead should be done is that Musharraf should align his party with PTI and he should be given a primary position like Foreign Minister.

The courts are trying to put presure on pti government through antics like this

National Reconciliation Order shall now be put forward to the courts.

Ok, I forgot.



Well, you are correct. Nawaz Sharif did manage to become PM later, after his exile finished.

This does not concern you. Take a hike illegal Indian alien

Most things in the world concern me.

You are free to put me on ignore instead of quoting me.

So how will you prove yourself to be a legal Indian citizen? What documents do you have to show for it and were they bought through bribe?

My interest is pretty understandable.
You are an illegal alien in India which is a fascist rogue country with a nuclear weapon.

The only time an Indian should be heard is when he is interrogated like during the Nuremberg trials. Before those trials, all you say is a fascist lie and sabotage of peace.

As I said put me on ignore. I think I should do the same.

With a colonial era army structure. It is possible in India.

Remember the slogan " Modi hai to mumkin hai "

Imposing Martial Law is a minor mistake compared to what Zia ul Haq did to Pakistan.

We, as a state never existed then. Now we can claim to be a atate whose institutes works what they are meant to do. Hence, i guess the reason. Btw this can prove to be a new start. If this stays, we wont see any martial law in future.

Agreed, but is it necessary to hang Musharraf ??

Note at all. Actually when he declared martial law, all judges took oth from him except 7. I think those 100 plus judges should also be declared (as well as punished) in treason case. Because they supported Musharaf in his martial law.

This has nothing to do with PTI govt, This is big money taking to deliver a blow to Pakistan Army. In bhen C**** to trial pe charhao once they leave office, I am sure Agencies can trace the money.

Musharaf was 100 times more patriotic than these three haram khor clowns sitting on the bench wearing that clownish white hair.

You can only understand if you know why he was given the sentence. It was not for his good things but for the bad things he did...and none of it is in your complaint/opinion above.
To put it briefly, he was found guilty of violating Pakistan's Constitution and was given sentence according to our Penal Code.

CJP Khosa: The judge who fast-tracked treason case

ISLAMABAD: Outgoing Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Asif Saeed Khosa is said to have played a key role in making sure the six-year-old treason trial against former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf is concluded before he retires.

Justice Khosa – who is stepping down on Dec 20 – has handed down several key verdicts against political and judicial functionaries during his tenure, inviting the ire of many but projecting the apex court as a strong institution.

The Musharraf treason case – which was initiated in Nov 2013 by the government of his old foe Nawaz Sharif – had hit frequent delays as special court judges either recused themselves, or retired, or were elevated. “Had it not been for the chief justice, the case might never been decided,” a senior official told The Express Tribune.

According to him, Justice Khosa brought the case back to life. It has been learnt that he was not happy with “undue interference of the high courts” to halt the special court proceedings during the last three weeks.

The Islamabad High Court (IHC), on a petition of the interior ministry, had stopped the special court from announcing its verdict on Nov 28, while directing the government to form a new prosecution team to pursue the case. The Lahore High Court (LHC) is also hearing Musharraf’s petitions against the special court.

On Nov 20, the chief justice had hinted that the case verdict would be announced soon. While addressing a ceremony at the Supreme Court, he said the post-2009 judiciary had convicted one prime minster [Yousuf Raza Gilani], disqualified another [Nawaz Sharif], and was soon going to decide the high treason case against a former army chief [Pervez Musharraf].

Justice Khosa headed the larger bench that had heard the Panama Leaks case in 2017, becoming the first judge to disqualify then-prime minister Nawaz Sharif under Article 62 (1)(f) of the Constitution.

Similarly, he was part of a seven-judge larger bench which had disqualified then-prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in the National Reconciliation Order (NRO) case in 2010. He had also written an additional note in the verdict.

Likewise, Justice Khosa had also upheld the death sentence awarded to Mumtaz Qadri, the self-confessed murderer of then-governor Punjab Salman Taseer. He was also part of a special bench which had acquitted Christian woman Aasia Bibi in the blasphemy case.

Of late, a Supreme Court bench – headed by Justice Khosa – gave the government six months to fix the service terms of an army chief through an act of parliament.

On Nov 21, 2014, the three-judge special court – then led by Justice Faisal Arab, – had directed the government to include the names of Shaukat Aziz, Abdul Hameed Dogar, and Zahid Hamid – then PM, CJP and law minister, respectively, as co-accused in the Musharraf treason case. The proceedings were suspended for a couple of years because of the order.

In Feb 2016, the Supreme Court, led by CJP Khosa, had set aside the special court order by directing that the trial against Musharraf be concluded. The court had ruled that only Musharraf should be tried over treason charges for subverting the Constitution in 2007.

In the 11-page order, authored by CJP Khosa, the apex court had observed that a fresh investigation into high treason by associating any person lies within the prerogative of the government and not the special court or the IHC. It had also reproduced all the observations and declarations made by the SC and the Sindh High Court, holding Musharraf solely responsible for the Nov 3, 2007 actions.

The judgment reads that the observations and declarations have already attained finality and they are in public domain. In the meantime, Musharraf had gone abroad for medical treatment.

Soon after taking charge as CJP, Justice Khosa had taken up the matter regarding the delay in Musharraf’s trial.

On March 25, he had referred to the punishment given to English dictator Oliver Cromwell – the Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland – whose skeleton had been hanged after his death, observing that an accused was deliberately not appearing before the trial court and questioning if the court was helpless.

In April, a three-member apex court bench, led by the CJP himself, had directed the special court to proceed under the law by concluding the matter. It had held that, if the accused failed to turn up, he would lose his right to an audience. Following the SC’s decision, the special court resumed hearing.

After the retirement of Justice Tahira Safdar, a special court member, CJP Khosa had nominated Peshawar High Court (PHC) Chief Justice Waqar Ahmad Seth to preside over the special court. He had ensured issuance of notification of Justice Seth’s appointment within two days.

A senior official told that when the notification regarding Justice Seth’s appointment was issued, the powers that be got upset and the government removed the acting law secretary.

Justice Seth had set aside trials of military courts’ convicts, and his judgment had also rescued Pakistan before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the case of Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav. Recently, Justice Seth had declared unconstitutional the functioning of scores of internment centres in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
