Former Pakistani military ruler Pervez Musharraf's plea to put off a treason case against him till after May 11 general elections was on Tuesday rejected by the Pakistan supreme court which, however, refused to order his arrest.
Pakistan's Supreme Court on Monday directed the government to ensure that Pervez Musharraf does not leave the country as it began hearing several petitions seeking the former military ruler's trial for treason for subverting the constitution and declaring emergency in 2007.
The participants lauded the government and the people for ensuring harmony after the apex court verdict on Saturday.
