Association of
Pakistani Lawyers, an organization of Solicitors, Barristers and Judges in
UK has called for a halt of General Musharraf’s efforts to sell his assets
including his farm at Chak Shehzad Islamabad as that will frustrate
efforts to compensate the victims and to recover fines and costs.
APL chairman
Amjad Malik has written to Chief Justice on 12 October on the anniversary
of his coup de tat and has requested the Chief Justice to take notice
saying that, “APL raised this matter in their
30 August 2006 communication and thankfully this matter has come before
the Chief Justice of Baluchistan who has issued notices to concerned
including that of General Musharraf. General Musharraf has also been found
guilty of subverting the constitution on the eve of 3 November 2007 when
he issued a ‘Provisional Constitutional Order 2009’ thus making amendments
on his own accord in the constitution and 31 July decision of the Supreme
Court of Pakistan has settled the issue once for all that all actions were
taken in breach of the order of 3 November 2007, a 7 members bench”.
Amjad Malik further demanded the Chief Justice that, “ We at the
Association request the honorable Chief Justice to take notice of reports
that the main accused of 3 November 2007 actions is planning to sell his
assets i.e residence of Chak Shehzad and move them abroad, furthermore as
he issued contemptuous PCO and he be issued contempt notice too in order
to bring him before the court and explain why he disobeyed the order of
the superior court of 3 November 2007. If the court does not stop his sale
of assets, it will frustrate efforts to bring him to accountability and
compensate the families of victims of his actions”.
