Musharraf’s plea: Prosecutors decide not to file reply

Head of prosecution team says accused has written lengthy letter seeking special court's permission to travel abroad.

ISLAMABAD: The prosecution team in Pervez Musharraf’s treason case might not be pleased over his direct correspondence with the special court, seeking permission to travel abroad for his own treatment and to attend his ailing mother, but have decided against submitting a written reply over his application. As the special court takes up Musharraf’s five-page application on March 11,  head of prosecution team Akram Sheikh while talking to The Express Tribune said the accused has written a lengthy letter to the special court, seeking its permission to travel abroad but the prosecution is not bound to respond to the letter.
