The Lahore High Court (LHC) adjourned the high treason case against former dictator Pervez Musharraf till December 17.

The court remarked that the created super structure was wrong.
Earlier, the additional attorney general submitted the case record to court.
Counsel for Pervez Musharraf stated that the case was started on the order of then prime minister Nawaz Sharif whose government was toppled by him in 1999. “A personal vendetta was involved in initiating the case against Pervez Musharraf,” he stated.
