Referring to yesterday's attack inside a district court in Islamabad, the judges told the registrar that the special court was also located in the same city and was not safe, therefore they would not appear in court today.
Due to the absence of the judges, the hearing was postponed to March 5.
Speaking to the media, Musharraf's advocate Ahmed Raza Kasuri said that the local bar in Islamabad has boycotted all legal proceedings in the city for a week. He stated that Musharraf's legal team will respect that boycott.
Kasuri further said that when Musharraf missed court hearings due to his concerns regarding security, he was made fun of but yesterday's attack was an example of the lack of security they were talking about.
On March 4, two suicide bombers and their armed accomplices attacked the district court in Islamabad, killing 11 people, including an additional sessions judge, and injuring over two dozen others.

The Government should be clever enough and let go off this bogus case and guide Pakistan on the road to safety, prosperity and development. Musharraf did nothing but good for Pakistan and Nawaz Shareef should end this personal vengeance now.
The fact of the matter is that with each passing day Musharraf is approaching closer to his logical end. The foremost points that the Law is taking it’s own course without external dictates. First the Musharraf’s lawyer tried to implicate the entire Army command but he failed to incite subversion from the prestigious institution. Then he kept clamoring, with his loud voice, for help from the West/Saudi but failed. He tried to scandalize the judiciary but failed once again. The maximum that Musharraf can do is to keep hiding in the hospital at Taxoayers expense. At last, he has no choice but to bow down in front of the rule of law because the doctrine of necessity is buried forever.
Lol.. Judiciary seems to be in seeing is believing.... Before this incident they were saying bring Mush to court no matter if he has security threats... But now they start believing once they themselves are victim
lets shift courts to save heaven like Saudia.
The cowards have a good excuse. Keep it copying.
Sir Musharraf will sail through this tough time.
Well, Musharff and his team had been making lame excuses for a long time and after the attack on Islamabad court they got "golden Opportunity'.
This should be a reminder why emergency was imposed on 3 Nov 2007, a bogus case which is pursued Musharraf enemies.
Few of you need a slap, brained washed people always doubt on Musharraf that he benefitted from this attacked.. How can you think of it for a person who has been your Army Chief and President for several years? Protecting you and Country for 40 years, fought several wars?
If Musharraf doesn't want to come to court, no force can bring him to court... it is Musharraf himself who has presented himself to court to shutdown the mouth of those labeling him coward and afraid, taking risk and signing the papers on his own.
But that was the most likely motive behind this incident to give Ex. General Sahiiiib more time......
"The free men of Hind ( indian sub continent !)" Ahrar ul Hind ....WTF?? is it safe anywhere, anymore ???
ET there is a typo in the last paragraph, the incident happened on 3rd March
I am deeply sadden by the our martyrdom in the court. I hope the rest of the Judge have the courage to stand up and be counted against those who want to create fear and disallow justice .
By rational .. We just need to see who get benefit from such violent act. I.e Case postpone today should have benefited some one
. we need to find out who ..
