ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC) on Saturday rejected a request filed by former President Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf to constitute a larger bench to hear the treason case against him and instead formed a three-member bench to hear the petitions.
The counsels of former military ruler, Muhammad Ibrahim Satti and Ahmed Raza Kasuri, had filed the request in the apex court on Friday for the constitution of a larger bench to hear the case.
The three-member bench now constituted includes Justice Jawwad S. Khawaja, Justice Khilji Arif Hussain and Justice Aijaz Afzal Khan. Previously, Justice Khawaja and Justice Khilji had been hearing the treason case against Musharraf.
