RAWALPINDI  – A trial court in Rawalpindi on Saturday reserved judgement on a petition seeking defreezing of accounts of former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf, whose accounts were earlier frozen in former prime minister Benazir Bhutto murder case.
Pervez Musharraf’s wife Begum Sehba Musharraf had filed the petition in the anti-terrorist court for dereezing of the accounts, which included seven personal accounts of Pervez Musharraf and four others.
The FIA, while arguing against the restoration of the accounts, said Sehba Musharraf did not have her own source of income and the balance amount of the joint account also belongs to Musharraf.
Pervez Musharraf is a proclaimed offender and unless he comes here to surrender, the petition for restoration of accounts cannot be entertained, argued the FIA. Sehba Musharraf’s counsel concluding his arguments said any joint account without proper inquiry could not be frozen.
Later, the court pronounced the completion of the hearing on the petition, but reserved the judgement. The court also approved the submission of some more documents by the petitioner’s counsel. The reserved judgement is expected to be announced on October 3.
