Islamabad: In a setback to Pakistan's former president Pervez Musharraf, an investigation has concluded that the ex-military ruler imposed the 2007 emergency as army chief and was guilty of violating the constitution, the special court hearing his treason trial was told on Thursday.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) which probed the case informed the court that 71-year-old Musharraf must be held accountable for high treason. A three-member bench headed by Justice Faisal Arab heard Musharraf's treason case in the Federal Shariat Court building.

Khalid Qureshi, head of the FIA probe team who appeared in court as the prosecution witness, also said that Musharraf had issued the Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO) affidavit as president on November 3, 2007.
The PCO is an emergency and extra-constitutional order that suspends either wholly or partially the Constitution of Pakistan. Qureshi added that the FIA probe team had reached the conclusion that Musharraf was guilty of violating the constitution by suspending it.
Meanwhile, Pakistan opposition leader Imran Khan alleged that Minister Nawaz Sharif owned a property in a posh area of London and invested millions of dollars in Europe and demanded an explanation from him.
Khan, the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), claimed that Sharif had made nearly USD 320 million worth of investments in Europe, against which there were no official record of receipts. "I ask you Nawaz Sharif, where did you get this money from?"
The PTI chief further called for accountability for the Hyde Park property worth Rs 800 million in London, owned by Sharif through Flagship Investments in the name of his son Hussain Nawaz.
