Earlier today, the report of a medical board set up by the special court hearing the high treason case of former military ruler Pervez Musharraf was presented before it in a sealed cover.
According to report, the former president needs to undergo angiography on immediate basis but he wants to go abroad for the procedure at a hospital of his choice.
According to report, Musharraf showed his reluctance in undergoing angiography in Pakistan. The doctors stated that it was crucial to take immediate decision over his angiography.
Subsequelty, the court adjourned hearing of the case till January 29.
The special court had on January 16 ordered the formation of a medical board comprising senior doctors of the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) for ascertaining the health condition of Gen. (retd) Musharraf.
The court had asked the medical board to answer mainly three questions.
“First is to find out whether Musharraf needs a surgery or not. Second is to find out how long it will take for Musharraf to recover completely,” Gen. Musharraf’s lawyer Ahmed Raza Kasuri had said earlier.
The decision came hours after Gen. Musharraf’s legal team submitted a letter written by his US-based private doctor Arjumand Hashmi in which he has said the former president should be sent to Paris Regional Medical Center, Texas for treatment.
Musharaf faces treason charges for suspending, subverting and abrogating the Constitution, imposing an emergency in the country in November 2007 and detaining judges of the superior courts.
