The Islamabad High Court on Thursday sought a reply from former president Pervez Musharraf in a petition seeking registration of FIR against him and former Intelligence Bureau director general Ejaz Shah in connection with July 2007 district courts blast.

The blast shook the venue of a reception held for the deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry in which 14 workers of Pakistan People’s Party were killed and 45 injured.
