Akbar Bugti murder case: Centre seeks more time to extradite Musharraf
The federal government has sought more time from the Balochistan High Court to prepare a response on the progress of former president Pervez Musharaf’s extradition.
Deputy Advocate-General Balochistan Malik Sikandar requested for an extension during the hearing of the Nawab Akbar Bugti murder case. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa and Justice Hashim Kakar led the proceedings.
Additional Advocate General Balochistan Nasrullah Achakzai informed the court that the Balochistan government had asked the federal government to seek the extradition of former president Pervez Musharraf and others accused in the case. He said that the federal government has been requested to approach Interpol.
Deputy Attorney-General Malik Sikandar, on the centre’s behalf, said that more time was required to complete the letter that provincial government is supposed to prepare for the extradition of the accused. “The federal government is committed to ensuring the implementation of all decisions in the Akbar Bugti murder case,” he told the court.
The court expressed dissatisfaction over the pace of investigation. “A huge amount of time had already been wasted,” the court observed. The bench said that statements of people who had not been nominated in the case were being recorded while the “real nominees are yet to be approached”.

@chaudry
wheres ur prove? convictions?
@Khudia Dad Khan:
"The extra judicial support for the terrorists and their ability to walk out scot free after every crime is amazing."
Does this also apply to cross-border attacks such as the 26/11 Mumbai attack by the LeT terrorists who are still walking free in Pakistan?
Mr Bugti was allegedly involved in murder of scores of his own tribesmen, relatives and others. He met justice at his own hands for his own deeds.
@Mirza: . By the way where is Baramghdagh and Herbiyar. Are they not hiding in some other country. Are they not killing innocent people. So what is the difference between your heroes and your villain. If they have the guts they should come back to their area and lead from front instead of using their tribes as human shields and hiding behind poor people. Your heroes are small time thieves and agents doing every thing for the lust of money. There is nothing noble about them.
Why is the life of Akber Bugti more important than the lives of hundreds of people who have been killed by his terrorist group BRA and is still killing and claiming. Why is there no such concern by Judiciary for those killed by the terrorists groups. Why isn’t Court asking for the extradition of Baramdagh Bugti and Harbeyar Marri. The extra judicial support for the terrorists and their ability to walk out scot free after every crime is amazing. Judiciary is interested in hifi cases and I don't see any change in this attitude till 2013
Baluchistan High Court Zinda Bad! Whether the SC or other HC do anything or not, but Baluchistan HC is already way ahead against the murderers. It is about time that we move forward and stop wasting time and protect the people who have committed high treason and murders. Where is the brave commando now, behaving like a rat?
