KARACHI On the directives of a Sindh High Court (SHC) bench, the court's office issued a notice on Thursday against former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf and asked the petitioner to get it published in London newspapers to inform him about a constitutional petition being heard by the court.

The notice pertains to the petition filed by Maulvi Iqbal Haider of the Awami Himayat Tehrik seeking action against Gen (retd) Musharraf and his aides, including advocate Sharifuddin Pirzada and former attorney general Malik Abdul Qayyum, for 'disfiguring' the Constitution and committing high treason. —APP
