Pak Supreme Court agrees to hear late military ruler Musharraf’s plea on his death sentence

Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Friday decided to hear an appeal by now-deceased former military dictator Pervez Musharraf against the special court majority judgment that handed him a death sentence on treason charges in 2019.

Musharraf, who died on February 5 this year, had filed the appeal four years ago.

“A four-member larger bench, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faiz Isa, heard the appeal against a decision to dissolve the special court that was previously hearing the Musharraf treason case,” The Express Tribune newspaper reported.
