Former President Pervez Musharraf’s request for an extension to pre-arrest interim bail for non-prosecution in PPP leader Benazir Bhutto assassination case was rejected by the Lahore High Court on Wednesday. The court also rejected his plea application for exemption from personal appearance in sensitive cases.
