ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday dismissed a petition filed by Lal Masjid Shuhada Foundation, seeking to bar former President Pervez Musharraf from leaving the country.
In the petition filed on Friday, it was stated that Musharraf was involved in various cases including Abdul Rasheed Ghazi murder case; therefore he should be barred from leaving the country.
During today’s proceedings, the IHC judge Justice Shaukat Aziz remarked that it is the job of the courts -that provided bail to Musharraf- to ensure his appearance. He could not exit from the country without the permission of the court.
The IHC judge further said that they could not interfere in the jurisdiction of special court, constituted to hear treason case against Musharraf.
