A special court hearing treason charges against former Pakistani dictator General Pervez Musharraf today ordered the freezing of the ‘proclaimed offender’s’ bank accounts and confiscate his property for
not appearing before it despite repeated notices.
A three-member bench of the special court headed by Chief Justice Peshawar High Court Justice Mazhar Alam Miankhel passed the orders over the non-appearance of the former president before the court despite repeated notices.
The court also adjourned the hearing of the case until Musharraf, 72, is arrested or he surrenders.
Justice Miankhel remarked that the court cannot initiate further proceedings in the absence of the accused.
