The prosecution alleged that Musharraf, 70, was trying to delay the trial and he had filed 21 applications since December last year to prolong the matter.
The application by the prosecution, filed yesterday, said the accused was indicted on March 31 but the court had neither proceeded to consider the evidence that might be submitted in support of the prosecution nor specified a time frame.
The prosecution said, it appeared from Musharraf's conduct that his interest was in delaying the start of the evidence stage and ultimately frustrating the culmination of the trial.
"However, the defence is overstepping the indulgence shown by this special court," the application said.
The application said it was a settled proposition that an accused in a case should be punished or acquitted expeditiously.
It said the accused had had adequate time and facilities for preparing his defence and there was no other compelling reason for deferring the recording of the prosecution's evidence.
Musharraf, who is currently in Karachi, was indicted by the court on March 31. He has refuted all charges against him.
Since returning to Pakistan from self-exile in March last year, Musharraf has faced prosecution in four major cases, including the high treason case, his alleged involvement in the murder of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto in 2007, and the 2006 killing of Baloch nationalist leader Akbar Bugti.
Musharraf was indicted on March 31 in the treason trial for suspending, subverting and abrogating the Constitution, imposing an emergency in the country in November 2007 and detaining judges of the superior courts.
