A special court in Pakistan has dismissed all applications filed by former president Pervez Musharraf's lawyers.
The move comes on Thursday during the hearing of the treason case against Musharraf.
According to the Express Tribune, at the end of the day, the court maintained its earlier order regarding Musharraf's appearance, whether voluntary or enforced, in court on March 31 when formal high treason charges will be framed against him.
In a written order signed by Justice Faisal, the special court dismissed all applications by Musharraf's lawyers.
It also dismissed petitions against the non-bailable arrest warrant of Musharraf. The hearing of the case has been adjourned till March 31.
When the hearing resumed on Thursday, Musharraf's counsel Anwar Mansoor Khan brought up the issue of the court's order on March 14 clearly demanding Musharraf's presence in court on the 31st, the report added.
