Capital court: Fresh warrants issued for Musharraf

ISLAMABAD: A capital court issued on Tuesday arrest warrants for former president Pervez Musharraf in response to a First Information Report (FIR) registered against him in 2009 for imposing emergency and detaining over 60 judges in 2007. 

Civil Judge Muhammad Abbas Shah passed the order after the Secretariat Police submitted a fresh application seeking the issuance of his arrest warrant.

The Secretariat Police had registered a case against him in 2009 in response to an application filed by Advocate Aslam Ghuman. Ghuman, in his application, termed the former president’s move of imposing emergency in 2007 and detaining over 60 judges, including Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, an illegal step and requested the court to register a criminal case against him.
