Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has been granted bail in the fourth and last case against him and he can now walk free in the territory having submitted two surety bonds of 1,00,000 rupees each.
Musharraf had been granted bail in the case of Lal Masjid cleric Abdul Rasheed Ghazi's murder and was required to submit the bonds.
According to Dawn, Musharaf's lawyer Ilyas Siddiqui said that the former army strongman would approach the Sindh High Court over the inclusion of his name in the exit control list (ECL).
The exit control rule bars Musharraf from exiting Pakistan without the approval of the government.
The report said that the 70-year-old is likely to remain under heavy guard at his villa on the edge of Islamabad, where he was placed under house arrest in April, because of serious threats to his life from the Taliban.
