Court terms 'fake' Musharraf's medical report

Court terms 'fake' Musharraf's medical report
Islamabad, Apr 22 (UNI) An anti-terrorism court today rejected the request of former Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf for temporary exemption from court appearances and termed his April 6 medical report ‘fake’. The order regarding the former military ruler's medical certificate came during the hearing of the judges' detention case. Gen Musharraf’s lawyer Akhtar Shah submitted the former army chief’s medical report along with a request to grant his client temporary exemption from appearing in court in the judges’ detention case, but the judge rejected both and upheld his non-bailable arrest warrants, Dawn News reported. ATC judge Sohail Ikram said the former military ruler had left the country in March but the report presented in the court is of April. His counsel argued that his client can appear before the court provided his doctors allow him and the government provides him security. Upon this, the Judge responded that Gen Musharraf has failed to appear in this court for the last one and a half year period. Islamabad police, in its report on Gen Musharraf's non-bailable arrest warrants, said the warrants could not be executed as he is in Dubai since March, upon which the Judge ordered Inspector General, Islamabad, to find Gen Musharraf's whereabouts and produce him in the court on May 20, the next hearing of the case. Gen Musharraf, who is facing a number of cases including Abdul Rasheed Ghazi murder case, Benazir Bhutto murder case and high treason case, left for Dubai on March 18, hours after the interior ministry issued a notification to remove his name from the exit control list (ECL). In the formal hearing, the Judge had said that the former president left country without taking permission from court. UNI XC SS SW AE 1900
