BHC issues arrest warrants for Musharraf in Akbar
Bugti case
QUETTA: The Balochistan High Court (BHC) on Monday issued bailable arrest warrants for ex-president Gen Pervez Musharraf in the murder case of ex-Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti.
A two-judge bench of BHC issued the order during hearing of appeal challenging acquittal of the former president by the Anti-Terrorism Court in the case. Justice Jamal Mandokhail and Justice Zaheeruddin Kakar heard the appeal moved by Nawabzada Jamil Bugti, the son of Akbar Bugti.
Akhtar Shah, the counsel of Pervez Musharraf, pleaded in front of the court that although his client respects the court, he cannot appear before the court due to security reasons. However, Bugti’s lawyer complained that despite repeated orders Pervez Musharraf has failed to appear before the court. The court ordered that the administration should ensure provision of security to the former president when he appears in the court.
Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti was killed in an operation in Balochistan’s rugged mountains of Taratani in Kohlu district on August 26, 2006.
