Former President Pervez Musharraf bail request has been turned down and the Islamabad High Court ordered to arrest him. This unprecedented development came when Pervez Musharraf appeared before court in the Judges Arrest Case. It is reported that Pervez Musharraf fled the premises court room after the decision.

Upon hearing this decision the personal security of Pervez Musharraf took him away in his car. He has now reached his farm house at Chak Shehzad where a meeting is underway between senior APML members. It is reported that Pervez Musharraf intends to appeal in the Supreme Court against the decision of  Islamabad High Court.

On the other hand, High Court Judge Justice Shoukat ordered to include terrorism offences in this case aswell. Now it is to be seen as to what Pervez Musharraf decides in his meeting with his party officials. Whether he would concede to the court’s orders or not, remains to be seen.

Pervez Musharraf on his facebook page released the following note.

Former President Musharraf earlier today appeared in Islamabad High Court in a procedural matter to seek extension in his transitory bail, which was due to expire today, April 18, 2013. The Judge, in an unprecedented move, took an unwarranted decision to reject the extension request.
The augmented State Security Apparatus assigned to President Musharraf in the face of specific and credible physical threats to his life by the enemies of Pakistan escorted the Former President to his home in Islamabad.
The Former President is filing an appeal in the Supreme Court of Pakistan against this ill-conceived decision of Islamabad High Court. We expect this unwarranted judicial activism, motivated by personal vendettas since his return to Pakistan to participate in the upcoming elections, will cease and the Supreme Court, without prejudice, will immediately grant necessary relief following precedence and the Rule of Law; the absence of which will cause mockery of the nation, can result in unnecessary tension amongst the various pillars of State and possibly destabilize the country.
