ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Wednesday restored the death sentence given to former president General Pervez Musharraf by a special court.

The top court announced the verdict after it reserved it a few minutes earlier and upheld the decision taken by the special court. 

On Jan 13, 2020, the Lahore High Court (LHC) declared the verdict, given by the special court formed to hear the high treason case under Article 6, “unconstitutional”. 

The special court verdict had sentenced the late dictator to death for high treason under Article 6.
