An anti-terrorism court (ATC) here Friday adjourned the detention of judges case against former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf until March 21, media reported.

The court failed to proceed with the case in the absence of the former president's lawyers due to the ongoing lawyers' strike and adjourned the hearing until March 21, Geo News reported.

The case was filed against Musharraf for detaining over 60 judges, including former chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, after proclaiming emergency Nov 3, 2007.

Earlier, Musharraf's counsel Ilyas Siddiqui requested the court to grant his client exemption from appearing in the court citing his ailing health.
