A three-member bench -- headed by Justice Faisal Arab -- heard the case.
Musharraf faces treason charges under Article 6 for suspending, subverting and abrogating the Constitution, imposing an emergency in the country in November 2007 and detaining judges of the superior courts.
The court on February 21 had turned down Musharraf’s plea to transfer his treason case to a military court and had instead fixed his indictment on March 11.
The bench had directed the former president to appear in person before the special court on March 11 to hear the charges being read out against him.

If only 20% of the money spent on Mr. Musharraf's security had been used in protecting the Islamabad courts at F-8, we might have avoided the terrorist attack. Alas...
Long Live Musharaf, Judicial Activism Down Down.
