    SC dismisses last petition

    No impediment for the next five years term as President for Musharraf.
    Musharraf to be sworn in as civilian president early this week
    Written by: Jawad Mazhar (Special Correspondent for BosNewsLife in Pakistan)

    Islamabad, Pakistan, Nov 23rd (BosNewsLife): The Supreme court (SC) of Pakistan
    has paved the path for General Pervez Musharraf by dismissing the sixth and last petition,
    challenging his eligibility for the office of President of Pakistan for another five years term. The
    apex court had dismissed five petitions filed against him earlier on Monday.

    SC’s verdict is expected today on Friday, November 23, 2007, which will allow Election
    Commission (EC) of Pakistan to issue the results of earlier held presidential polls. Earlier SC had
    allowed the Presidential polls take place on Oct 6th, 2007 but barred EC from publicizing the
    results until the apex court gives a verdict about the petitions challenging the candidacy of
    Musharraf as President of Pakistan.

    According to un-official results came forward so far General Pervez Musharraf won the elections
    with a landslide victory, but official results are yet to be announced. “Now EC has no impediment
    in issuing the results of land sliding victory of Musharraf in the Presidential polls”, said
    Musharraf’s legal adviser Syed Sharif-ud-Din Pirzada.

    SC full bench headed by the Chief Justice (CJ) of Pakistan Abdul Hameed Dogar gave the verdict
    after a short hearing of the petition filed by Dr. Zahoor Mehdi. The Chief Justice after hearing
    said “The petition is dismissed”, on Thursday Nov 22nd, 2007.

    The EC will handover the presidential polls results to the Interior Ministry and they will
    disseminate the results and announce the land sliding victory of General Pervez Musharraf.

    After the announcement is made about the General Musharraf’s victory and official results are
    made public, General Pervez Musharraf is likely to step down as Army Chief and expected to
    take oath as civilian president of Pakistan for the next five years tenure by early next week.

    Jawad Mazhar end.
