00:00 Parvez Musharraf case may have a lawsuit on the special court of Lahore High Court
00:05 Chief Justice has asked,
00:07 Are there any questions on the appointment of a request to Lahore High Court?
00:10 We will get to know more details from Raja Mohsin Nijaz.
00:13 Yes, Raja Mohsin, tell us.
00:15 Look, today, the request of the former president, retired General Parvez Musharraf,
00:20 to give his sentence as a death penalty,
00:23 and the special court which was declared as death penalty by Lahore High Court,
00:28 has heard both these requests.
00:30 Today, at the beginning of the hearing, the former president's lawyer,
00:35 Barrister Salman Safzar, presented himself in court and said that
00:38 he still has no clear instructions from the former president's heirs regarding this case.
00:45 He tried to contact him 10 times in the past week,
00:49 but he could not contact him and neither do they have any clear instructions.
00:53 Along with this, a lawyer, maybe an advocate, also presented himself in court and said
00:59 that he had been a lawyer in many cases of the former president,
01:02 and when the special court gave him the death penalty, he gave me a message.
01:06 On this, the Chief Justice questioned him,
01:08 was it some secret message?
01:11 He said, "No, I cannot give this message to the court,
01:13 I just want to be a part of this case."
01:15 On this, the Chief Justice said that whatever you have to say,
01:18 you have to say it through Barrister Salman Safzar, who is representing the former president.
01:24 During this time, the Chief Justice also instructed Barrister Salman Safzar
01:28 to leave the courtroom right now and give the numbers of the former president's heirs,
01:35 including his daughter, son and wife, to the court.
01:40 Along with this, the second request was heard.
01:44 The court said that the heirs will be sent a notice on WhatsApp
01:49 and the one-week penalty was accepted in this case.
01:53 Along with this, the government of the time did not support the decision of the Lahore High Court.
02:00 The special court, which was declared a collusion,
02:03 when the case was closed, the Attorney General had a dialogue with the Additional Attorney General.
02:08 He asked, "Does the government of the time support the decision of the Lahore High Court or oppose it?"
02:14 The Additional Attorney General told the court that the government of the time will respect the Supreme Court's decision.
02:19 The government of the time respects the Supreme Court's decision.
02:22 The case of the Chief Justice was closed till 11.30 pm yesterday.
02:25 Raja Mohsin Iqbal, reporting for India, thank you.
