As the security establishment and the government locked horns over the controversial Dawn Leaks issue, the government has requested the special court to expedite the trial of former military ruler Pervez Musharraf in the high treason case, initiated against him for abrogating the Constitution on November 3, 2007.
“Under Section 9 of the Criminal Law Amendment [Special Court] Act, 1976, this Honourable Court [Special Court] is required to proceed with the trial and not grant any adjournment for any purpose unless it is of opinion that the adjournment is necessary in the interest of justice,” stated the prosecution team while submitting a written synopsis on the trial.
On March 31, the special court asked the prosecution to submit a synopsis regarding the completion of the trial
