A three-member bench headed by Justice Jawwad S Khawaja concluded the hearing and ordered the federal government to investigate the case.
Justice Khawaja said that all eyes were on the government and he hoped that there would be no delay in the investigation of the case.
Attorney General Munir A Malik informed the court that a special committee had been set up for the purpose of investigation and that work had already begun.
Musharraf, who returned from four years of self-imposed exile in March, has been under house arrest at his plush farmhouse on the edge of Islamabad since April 19.
On June 24, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced that Musharraf will be tried for treason under Article 6 of the Constitution of Pakistan. He is accused of subverting the constitution twice.

@Kaleem: Better please be contended with your so called democracy and start reaping its fruits if any...People of Pakistan are not bothered whether they are herded like animals by civilian dictators or Military dictators but they want issues of social security be addressed. And the matter of fact is the nation was / has been far better placed under the dictators than your so called democratic leaders cum parasites who are bent upon suck the last drop of blood of this poor nation....
@Kaleem: So also civilian dictators born on laps of the military.
@ M.Rizvi , ex Gen Musarraf is a different from many retd. Gen .of Pak army now supporting openly the terrorism in Afghanistan and Kashmir in India . They have made the issue complicated . It was Musarraf who gave them last chance to implement their policy in the form of Kargil war . Now it is clear that Kashmir issue can only be silved across the table but the present govt. again extending moral support to the so called freedom fighters there and trying to please hardliners though supressing the voice of Mussaraf . He is the only person in Pakistan who can solve the Kashmir issue and can open the gate of peace and prosperity for Pakistan .
Stop this nonsense. so what if he was from Army he is still a Pakistani.He is the most capable leader Pakistan ever had. for common man democracy stands for continued oppression and exploitation. People are going to welcome army intervention again which is bound to happen soon, the way things are going.
@Dr. A.K.Tewari: People of Pakistan in general and his opponents in particular shall realize in days to come that Gen(R)Pervez Musharraf under the scenario is the fittest man for the safety and survival of our beloved country Pakistan.He is exceptionally a straight,brave and an upright man proven.I strongly believe that our national hero, the great PM would come out victorious from the maligned , false and fabricated cases filed against him by Hippocratic authority and malicious mind set in position.Salute to Gen(R)Pervez Musharraf.Long live Pakistan,Long live people of Pakistan.Long live the great PM.
@Kaleem Disctatorship comes in many forms. This democracy is no different from dictatorship. Until you can get rid of Feudalism nothing will change.
Are they really serious to evolve a new Pakistan . The move of trial of the new govt. indicate that govt. wants to please the sufferer of mush tenure .i.e . the terrorists and their supporters . The Judiciary do not want to create enemy against her thats why seems to be not ready to against mush on her own . Therefore The case will move like a pendullum between the two poles with no outcome .
Jye Musharraf
Can SC Order Government in a matter beyond its scope and domain?
Musharraf's opponents have nothing to prove against him - though they have a long wish list. Inshallah he come out clean with more strength.
@all those supporting musharraf, if you had voted in 2013, Please dont vote next time and wait for next dictator. Or atleast find a symbol of "dictatorship" in 2018 and vote it.
Nothing will harm Gen Musharraf and he will be next president of Pakistan
Days are gone when such stunts were fruitful to divert the attention of masses. Whenever we go to market to purchase daily routine items we pray we pray for those who dould claim to serve the masses and they left this roaring budget on us. We have nothing to do with Musharraf.
Independent judiciary was a hoax..... chill out justice khawaja and focus on improving pathetic justice system that is so unable to stand by the weak against the poweful.
When will the court will start hearing "decision implementation case"?
Waste of time and tax payer's money!!
