The Supreme Court’s detailed verdict in the high treason case against former President Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf nullifies the Lahore High Court’s decision, citing constitutional violations and defiance of SC orders. Justice Mansoor Ali Shah authored the judgment, emphasizing that appeals against special court decisions must be heard exclusively by the Supreme Court. The verdict rebukes the Lahore High Court’s attempt to assert jurisdiction over the case, emphasizing that it lacked authority. It affirms the legality of the special court’s formation by the federal government and criticizes the Lahore High Court’s acquittal of Musharraf, stating it undermines the rule of law. This decision reaffirms the apex court’s authority in high treason cases and upholds principles of constitutional legality and due process.
