ISLAMABAD:  Following the special court’s verdict against Pervez Musharraf, a malicious campaign was launched against the bench in the country, says the outgoing Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khosa here on Friday.

The top judge, who is retiring at midnight today, expressed these views at the full-court farewell reference held at the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

He strongly dismissed the charges of influencing the verdict given by the special court against former military ruler retired Gen Pervez Musharraf in the high treason case.

On Saturday, the 27th chief justice of Pakistan, Justice Gulzar Ahmed, will swear in.
