The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has exempted Pakistan's former president retired General Pervez Musharraf from appearing in court in the murder case of Lal Masjid cleric Abdul Rashid Ghazi, setting aside the non-bailable arrest warrants issued for him.
According to the Dawn, On June 19, acting District and Sessions Judge Kamran Basharat Mufti rejected his plea for exemption from appearing based on medical reasons and issued non-bailable arrest warrants.
IHC Justice Aamir Farooq referred the matter back to the sessions judge to decide on the plea for exemption of Gen Musharraf.
It was based on a medical report submitted by the counsel for Musharraf. The report said that the former president was advised not to travel outside Karachi.
