QUETTA: The Balochistan High Court (BHC) rejected the medical report of former president General Pervez Musharraf on Wednesday during the hearing of the murder case of Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti. The court also expressed infuriation over his non-appearance in the case. Jamil Bugti, the son of Nawab Akbar Bugti, had challenged the acquittal of the former president in his father’s murder from an anti-terrorist court in Quetta in BHC earlier this year. During the hearing, the divisional bench of the court rejected the medical report presented by the defendant’s lawyer. The bench comprised of comprising Justice Jamal Mandokhail and Justice Muhammad Hashim Kakar. “Nobody is above the law,” Justice Jamal remarked during the hearing. The court also directed Musharraf’s lawyer to convince his client to appear before the court. He pleaded that the medical board does not allow his client to travel. Jamil Bugti had earlier nominated Musharraf, Lasi, Aziz, Ghani, former chief minister late Jam Mohammad Yousuf, former interior minister Aftab Sherpao, and former home minister Mir Mohammad Shoaib Nausherwani in the FIR registered at the Dera Bugti police station. The FIR was registered under against Musharraf and others in 2009 sections 302 and 304 of the Pakistan Penal Code for their alleged involvement in Bugti’s murder. Nawab Bugti was killed in an operation in Balochistan’s rugged mountains of Taratani in Kohlu district on August 26, 2006. He had led an armed campaign to press for provincial autonomy and a greater share of profits from Balochistan’s natural resources. His death had sparked angry protests in parts of the country.
