The special court, which was hearing the case against Pervez Musharraf, rejected his application Friday in which he had challenged the appointment of Akram Shaikh as head of the prosecution team reported.
Announcing the court's decision on the plea filed by Musharraf, Registrar Abdul Ghani said the petition was inadmissible for hearing and that the judges had rejected it.
In today's decision, the special court said that the Islamabad High Court's verdict of Dec 23, 2013 had declared valid the appointment notification of Akram Shaikh as chief prosecutor.
Earlier on March 26, the special court had reserved its verdict on the application challenging Shaikh's appointment.
Musharraf's counsel Anwar Mansoor Khan had alleged that Shaikh had expressed his desire to prosecute Musharraf under Article 6 of the Constitution even before the filing of the treason case by the government and before he was even appointed chief prosecutor.
Mansoor had also challenged Shaikh's appointment in the IHC along with filing two other petitions, stating that the appointment was not legitimate.
The court had subsequently rejected his application.
