KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday disposed of a petition against former president Pervez Musharraf, DawnNews reported.

The court further advised petitioner Maulvi Iqbal Haider to approach the Supreme Court in this regard.

The petition seeking to initiate a high treason trial against the former military ruler was heard by a division bench of the court, headed by SHC Chief Justice Sarmad Jalal Usmani.

Haider in the petition had contended that a case should be filed against the former president under Article 6 of the Constitution.

The petition accused Musharraf of violating the constitution, illegal usage of national resources, damaging the federation and soiling the state’s reputation. — DawnNews
