Former Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf's treason trial was on Wednesday adjourned for a day after his lawyers sought time to go through prosecution's objections to his medical report.
Musharraf's counsel Anwar Mansoor said he is yet to go through the objections raised by prosecutor Akram Sheikh against the 70-year-old's medical report issued by the Armed Forces Institute the of Cardiology (AFIC) and prepare himself for arguments. Mansoor also sought time from the special court conducting the trial as Musharraf's legal team was busy at the Supreme Court with the hearing of a review petition filed by the former President against the apex court's verdict relating to the emergency imposed in November 2007.
He said that it was imperative for the legal team to appear in the Supreme Court on Wednesday and sought adjournment of the hearing in the treason trial until the apex court issued its verdict over the review petition.
