ISLAMABAD: PTI government mulls important decision over former President Pervaiz Musharraf death penalty verdict.
Prominent lawyer and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leader Babar Awan on Monday claimed that the government was examining the option of challenging the conviction of former president Pervez Musharraf.
He told a press conference that if it deemed appropriate, the government could file an appeal while the convict could also challenge the decision of the special court.
Rejecting the argument that the government being the complainant in the case could not file an appeal, Mr Awan recalled that Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif had been disqualified on a federal government complaint and the government went in appeal after the change of regime.
He said the high treason case against Musharraf had been filed by the ex-premier with the consultation of his brother, but they both were silent on the conviction.
