When’s Musharraf’s quitting dual-office? SC asks Prez’s adviser

President Pervez Musharraf, who plans to seek re-election in uniform, faced a fresh challenge on Wednesday when the Supreme Court asked his legal adviser to clarify when the military dictator’s dual office was ending. A seven-member bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar M Chaudhry asked Musharraf’s legal adviser Sharifuddin Pirzada to enquire from the President when his dual office period would come to an end and inform the apex court, the Geo TV reported. One of the bench members Justice Faqir Muhammad Khokhar even remarked that in his opinion, the President could not hold two offices “after the period ends”. Later, the hearing was put off until Thursday.
