A special court on Tuesday ordered the government to submit a report pertaining to its November 21 order to include alleged co-conspirators in the high treason trial against former President Pervez Musharraf by January 7, 2015.
The former President Pervez Musharraf was charged in March this year for subverting and circumventing the Constitution by imposing emergency in the country on November 3, 2007 – charges he denies.
Musharraf had requested the court for inclusion of co-conspirators in the investigation. The special court on November 21 partially accepted the plea with majority vote.
As per the order, former prime minister Shaukat Aziz, ex-federal minister Zahid Hamid and former chief justice Abdul Hameed Dogar will be tried along with Musharraf for the 2007 emergency.
