26 Feb 2014 5:08 AM IST
Beleaguered former military ruler Pervez Musharraf was today directed by a Pakistani anti-terrorism to appear personally on 7 March in connection with a case over the detention of judges in 2007.
The court exempted 70-year-old Musharraf from today's hearing following a request from his lawyer Ilyas Siddiqui.
Siddiqui claimed the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology, where Musharraf is admitted, was not providing his client's medical reports. He said the court may seek these reports on its own.
Public prosecutor Nadeem Tabish said neither Musharraf nor his guarantors were appearing in court and requested it to decide the matter on merit at the next hearing. Subsequently, the court adjourned the case till 7 March.
