Meanwhile, responding to a question related to Musharraf’s return, defence lawyer said that his client is not a cowardly man and that he respects court and all the state institutions .
Earlier, Musharraf s lawyer Akhtar Shah had submitted an affidavit which reveales the ex-president possesses three cars abroad while he has 92,1000 dirham in his foreign currency account.
The counsel told the court that Musharraf had not earned this money in Pakistan.
