Pakistan's special court has ordered the federal government to re-file its complaint in the treason case against Pervez Musharraf while accepting the former military ruler's plea seeking trial of the three co-accused.

According to Dawn, the court has directed the federal government to include the names of former prime minister Shaukat Aziz, former law minister Zahid Hamid, former chief justice Abdul Hameed Dogar and other office holders to the charge sheet.

The order was passed as the court heard a plea filed by Musharaf seeking his acquittal and the inclusion of abettors during the November 3 actions.

The report added that the move was likely to implicate a number of high profile civilians and armed personnel in the treason trial.
