The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has rejected a petition seeking a ban on former President General Pervez Musharraf's exit from Pakistan.
The Shuhada Foundation of Pakistan Trust had filed the petition on January 3 to ensure Musharraf stays in Pakistan, as they claim he ordered the raid on the Lal Masjid in 2007.
The court, however, said that others should not interfere in matters of the court and that the former military ruler cannot exit the country without its approval, the Express Tribune reports.
Musharraf is due to appear in a special court and face treason charges under Article 6 of the Constitution for imposing an emergency in the country in November 2007 and detaining judges of the superior courts.
