Musharraf files pre-arrest bail plea in SC
This week has gone from bad to worse for the former president.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Former military ruler Pervez Musharraf has filed a pre-arrest bail application in the Supreme Court of Pakistan today (Thursday).
The plea was filed after the Islamabad High Court revoked Pervez Musharraf s bail application and ordered his arrest in judges detention case.
The Supreme Court is already hearing a separate petition from lawyers, demanding that Musharraf go on trial for treason for subverting the constitution by imposing emergency law in November 2007, a move which hastened his downfall.
Musharraf returned last month after four years in self-imposed exile to make a political comeback despite legal challenges and Taliban death threats, but has since faced paltry public support.
