Former Pakistani military ruler Pervez Musharraf was granted bail on Monday in a case related to the death of a cleric of the radical lal Masjid during a 2007 military operation, paving the way for his possible release after over six months of house arrest.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Islamabad directed Musharraf to submit two surety bonds of `1 lakh each. It means that he is on bail in all the cases, including the assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto, the killing of Baloch leader Akbar Bugti and the imposition of emergency in 2007, brought against him since his return to the country from self-imposed exile.
