PESHAWAR: A four-member bench of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Tuesday banned former military ruler Pervez Musharraf from contesting elections for the rest of his life for abrogating the country’s constitution.
Follow up:
The verdict came in response to an appeal Musharraf filed over the rejection of his nomination papers for NA-32 seat in Chitral district. Headed by Chief Justice Dost Mohammad Khan and including Justice Malik Manzoor, Justice Syed Afsar Shah and Justice Ikramullah, the bench ruled that since Musharraf had abrogated the constitution twice, he could not be allowed to contest elections either for the National Assembly or the Senate.
