There was enthusiastic bidding to buy the land of the brother of former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf here on Friday.
Former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf is currently in the news in Uttar Pradesh these days as an enemy property registered in the name of one of his relatives is set to be auctioned in Kotana village on September 5.
Former chief of Army Staff and President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf passed away on Sunday at American Hospital in UAE after a prolonged illness, reported Daily Pakistan.
Pak news portal The Namal had earlier reported that Musharraf had been put on a ventilator as his health had deteriorated.
On Thursday, Musharraf had moved the apex court, seeking to overturn the Islamabad-based special court's December 17, 2019, verdict, which sentenced him to death in the high treason case.
Another important petition presently being heard by the Supreme Court concerns powers granted to the army enabling them to detain suspects indefinitely without a trial while declaring them immune from enforced disappearances.
Musharraf said that he respected Pakistan's judiciary and that, similar to Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, he also believed that everyone was equal before the law.
Musharraf has been in self-imposed exile ever since a travel ban was lifted in 2016 that allowed him to seek medical treatment abroad.
In the petition, the former president had challenged the formation of a special court holding his trial under charges of high treason and legal flaws committed in the procedure.
The new prosecution team's lawyers informed the court that they needed more time to prepare for the case.
