Islamabad, Apr. 8 (ANI): The Supreme Court of Pakistan has summoned former president Pervez Musharraf on Tuesday in the treason case against him.
A two-member bench of the apex court, led by Justice Jawad S Khawaja, heard the petition against Musharraf on Monday after Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry recused himself from the initially formed three-member bench.
The bench also directed Secretary Interior to ensure that Musharraf does not leave the country and ordered that his name be added to the Exit Control List (ECL), reports The Dawn.
The apex court also directed Islamabad police to ensure implementation of its order that Musharraf, who is currently in the capital, appears before the bench.
The former army chief returned to Pakistan on March 24 after four years of self-imposed exile, in order to participate in the May 11 polls.
Musharraf had filed papers to contest the general elections from four seats, including Karachi, Islamabad, Chitral and Kasur. (ANI)
