Pakistan's former president retired Gen Pervez Musharraf has reportedly challenged the special court's decision of issuing bailable arrest warrant against him, in the Supreme Court.
Advocate Chaudhry Faisal Hussain, a member of his legal team said that Musharraf had filed two petitions challenging the Jan 31 special court order of issuing bailable warrants of arrest and the Jan 10 order in which the trial court decided to make provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) applicable in the treason case.

The special court, presided by three judges had issued arrest warrants against the former president on charges of treason.
