March 29, 2018
ISLAMABAD, Mar 29 (INP): The bench conducting the high-treason trial against former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf was dissolved on Thursday after Justice Yahya Afridi, who headed the bench, recused himself from hearing the case. The hearing of the treason case was supposed to resume today. However, Justice Afridi, who is chief justice of the Peshawar High Court, recused himself from the bench after Musharraf's lawyer objected to his inclusion, saying Justice Afridi was former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry's lawyer.
