The former president, who remained under house arrest for more than six months in his sprawling Chak Shahzad farmhouse outside Islamabad, got bail last week in the murder case of Lal Masjid cleric Abdul Rasheed Ghazi. Kasuri said the legal team was confident that Musharraf's appeal on the ECL would be accepted when the hearing is held on November 18.
Musharraf's legal counsel A Q Halepota, who filed the petition in the court, told reporters that placing the name of the former general on the ECL was a violation of his fundamental rights. Therefore, he pleaded to the court to modify its earlier order.
He said Musharraf would definitely come back to Pakistan if he gets permission to go to Dubai or any other country.
