QUETTA: An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Monday rejected former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf’s medical reports and summoned him on December 10 in the Nawab Akbar Bugti murder case. While hearing the case, ATC-I Judge Nazeer Ahmed Langov rejected the former president’s medical report, seeking exemption from personal appearance before the court. The judge said the court would cancel Musharraf’s bail orders if he failed to appear at the next hearing. Raising questions over the former president’s medical report, Sohail Rajput, counsel for petitioner Jamil Akbar Bugti, alleged that Musharraf had been taking part in political activities and appearing on television channels in good health. “His lawyer has presented a so-called medical certificate that says the former president can’t travel. However, the court rejected it,” Rajput confirmed. The court adjourned further hearing of the case till December 10.
