RAWALPINDI: The special court on Thursday resumed the hearing of the treason case against former military ruler Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf, DawnNews reported.

During today's hearing, the court headed by Sindh High Court's Justice Faisal Arab rejected the request of the former president's counsel which had sought to adjourn the hearing.

Advocate Rana Ejaz, a counsel for Musharraf, requested the court to adjourn the hearing of the case until Monday, as the former military strongman's legal defence team was engaged with the Supreme Court's hearing of the review petition filed against the apex court's earlier ruling which had declared Musharraf's November 3, 2007 actions of imposing an emergency unconstitutional.

Rejecting the defence counsel's plea, the bench instructed the prosecutors to present their arguments on objections to Musharraf's medical report.

Chief prosecuting lawyer Barrister Akram Sheikh termed Musharraf's medical report a piece of paper and said that despite a passage of 28 days the former president had neither undergone an ECG nor an enzyme test.

He further described the medical report as 'unprofessional'.

The court took a recess until 11:30 am.
