PESHAWAR, Oct 5: Peshawar High Court Bar Association president Abdul Latif Afridi on Friday held the order of 10-member larger bench of the Supreme Court in constitutional petitions against acceptance of the nomination papers of President Gen Musharraf for the presidential election as satisfactory.

Talking to APP, he said that retraining the chief election commissioner from announcing results of the presidential election till October 17 was victory of the lawyers’ community.

Mr Afridi said that a detailed verdict of the Supreme Court in this connection and President Musharraf’s re-election from the present assemblies for the second term was still awaited.

He said that the Supreme Court had given historic judgments in recent times in cases of the Chief Justice, Javed Hashmi and the Sharif brothers.—APP
