However, the former president could not appear before the judges over security threats, reported Xinhua.<\/p>\n<p>The three-member special court summoned Musharraf to appear on the first day of the trial.<\/p>\n<p>Police said they found a five-kg bomb and two pistols on Musharraf&#8217;s route to the court.<\/p>\n<p>Musharraf&#8217;s defence lawyer, Mansoor Ali Khan told the court that his client could not appear because of threats to his life.<\/p>\n<p>The head of the three-member court, Justice Faisal Arab accepted the plea and asked Musharraf&#8217;s lawyers to file a written request about security threats.<\/p>\n<p>The government&#8217;s lawyers, however, argued that Musharraf could not be absolved of personal appearance because of the nature of the case.<\/p>\n<p>Musharraf&#8217;s lawyers sought a two-week adjournment. However, the court adjourned the hearing for a week, until Jan 1. The court also ordered security arrangements for Musharraf on the next hearing.<\/p>\n<p>The court said the former president will be formally charged on the next hearing.<\/p>\n<p>It is the first case in the country&#8217;s history that a former military ruler faces high treason trial.<\/p>\n<p>Musharraf has been charged with suspending the constitution when he imposed Emergency in November 2007. Legal experts say the charges carry death penalty or life imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p>Musharraf&#8217;s lawyers tried to stop Tuesday&#8217;s trial on the plea that the special court has no power to try a former army chief and that only a military court can try him under the Army Act.<\/p>\n<p>The Islamabad High Court, however, rejected the petition Monday and removed all obstacles to Musharraf&#8217;s trial.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced in June the former military ruler would be tried for high treason for suspending the constitution. Sharif&#8217;s decision evoked mixed reaction as critics were of the view that Pakistan faces several serious challenges and cannot afford such trial.<\/p>\n<p>Musharraf took over in a bloodless coup when he dismissed the elected government of Nawaz Sharif in 1999.<\/p>\n<p>The 69-year-old former army chief currently lives in his farmhouse in Islamabad after getting bail in three high-profile cases, including in the 2007 assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.<\/p>\n<p>Musharraf resigned in 2008 and went into exile, but returned to Pakistan in March this year to take part in parliamentary elections. However, a court disqualified him from standing in the May elections.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: IANS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A special court in Pakistan will formally frame charges of high treason against ex-president Pervez Musharraf Jan 1, 2014, court officials said Tuesday.
