Islamabad, Dec 5

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has rejected a petition challenging the constitution of a special court for the treason trial of former Paksitan president Pervez Musharraf, Online news agency reported.

During the hearing, IHC Justice Noorul Huque Qureshi observed Wednesday that the petitioner Riaz Hanif Rahi should have approached the proper forum, while the Registrar office recorded its objection that the petitioner was not the affected person, hence, his right to challenge did not hold.

The three-member special court, which will hear the treason case of Musharraf, is headed by Justice Faisal Arab (Sindh High Court). Other members of the Bench include Justice Yawar Ali (Lahore High Court) and
Justice Tahira Safdar (Balochistan High Court).
