A Pakistani court has reportedly issued a bailable arrest warrant against former military strongman General (retired) Pervez Musharraf in relation to the murder case of Lal Masjid cleric Ghazi Abdul Rasheed.

Islamabad's Additional Sessions Judge Wajid Ali Khan presided over the hearing and turned down all the four requests issued by Musharraf's counselor. The hearing has now been adjourned till April 2, reported the Dawn.

Musharraf's counsel had earlier questioned the jurisdiction of the court as a case pertaining to Lal Masjid is already pending in the Supreme Court. He had also asked for exemption from appearing in court for this case.
