The prosecution team (including myself), which had been appointed in 2013 to prosecute Gen Musharraf (R.) for high treason & had been pursuing the case ever since, has just been de-notified by the federal govt. After years of delay, the case was fixed for final arguments today.
In the previous hearing, the Special Court had directed both sides to submit their written arguments prior to today's hearing. In compliance, the prosecution had already submitted its written arguments. Today oral arguments were to be heard. However we were barred from doing so.
Sharing here the notification of our removal, issued by the Ministry of Interior which is headed by Brig. Ijaz Shah (R.). It is dated 23.10.19, however no intimation was given to the prosecution yesterday. We came to know about it when the govt produced it before the court today.
The Interior Ministry is responsible under the law for investigation (through FIA), filing of complaint & prosecution of the offense under Article 6 of the Constitution. It may appoint a new prosecution team, or the Attorney General's office may be tasked with pursuing the case.
Current Attorney General, Capt. Anwar Mansoor Khan (R.), was Musharraf's counsel in high treason case (so was the current Law Minister, Mr. Farogh Naseem). Ijaz Shah, the Interior Minister, is a known Musharraf loyalist. In short Musharraf's high treason case is in 'safe hands'.
