ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court of Pakistan has allowed counsels to meet former president Pervez Musharraf who is currently in Chak Shahzad sub-jail.
A two-member bench comprising of Justice Jawwad S Khawja and Justice Khilji Arif Hussain took up five identical petitions against Musharraf seeking his trial under Article 6 of the Constitution for imposing emergency and subverting the Constitution in 2007.
Qamar Afzal, Ibrahim Satti and Ahmed Raza Kasuri representing the former military chief requested the apex court to allow them meeting their client.
After hearing their arguments, the court allowed them access to Musharraf and adjourned the hearing till 11:30am.
Musharraf, who is also the head of All Pakistan Muslim League (APML), was placed under house arrest at his Chak Shahzad farmhouse which has been declared a sub-jail by the court due to security reasons.
The former army supremo returned last month after nearly four years of self-imposed exile to take part in May 11 general elections despite the possibility of arrest on various charges and death threats from the Pakistani Taliban.
