ISLAMABAD, Mar 14: A conditional non-bailable arrest warrant was today issued against embattled former Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf after he failed to turn up before the special court hearing the high treason case against him. "Non-bailable arrest warrant has been issued which will be implemented on March 31 in case he fails to appear before the court," Abdul Ghani Soomro, Registrar of the special court announced. The defence said they will challenge the order once they get a copy of it. "We will challenge the order once we get the order," Faisal Chaudhry, a lawyer for 70-year- old Musharraf told the media outside the special court. The court was adjourned till March 20. The special court had earlier in the day reserved its judge- ment till afternoon. The defence had claimed that Musharraf cannot appear due to security concerns. A three-member bench, headed by Justice Faisal Arab of the Sindh High Court, had sum- moned Musharraf today for him to be indicted. Musharraf's counsel, Anwar Mansoor, submitted an applica- tion in the court requesting for his exemption. He said the background checks need to be conducted on the security personnel deployed for Musharraf's security and this would take at least 6 weeks. The judge noted that in case he does not appear, charges will be read out to the lawyer. But another Musharraf lawyer Ahmed Raza Kasuri countered it saying that an accused cannot be indicted in absentia.
