ISLAMABAD: In the hearing of the treason case against former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf on Wednesday, Federal Investigative Agency (FIA) Additional Director Khalid Rasool submitted his written testimony before the special court.

The three-member special court, headed by Justice Faisal Arab of the Sindh High Court, heard the case against the former army strongman.

FIA’s additional director appeared as a prosecution witness in the case.

During the proceedings today, the prosecution submitted all documented evidence in court against the former military ruler.

Rasool informed the court that a CD regarding Musharraf's November 3, 2007 declaration of emergency was received and forwarded to FIA Director Khalid Qureshi.

He added that consultant certificates of the legal documents were also given to the FIA.

After the completion of statements by the prosecution witness, the court ruled that on the next hearing defence lawyers would cross-examine the testimony put forth by Rasool.
