A reference against Justice Waqar Seth, who awarded death sentence to former president Pervez Musharraf and hang his body for three days at Islamabad’s D-Chowk, has been sent to the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC).

The reference was forwarded by Mehmood Akhtar Naqvi to the Supreme Judicial Council against Justice Waqar Seth. “The judgment of Justice Waqar against Pervez Musharraf is unconstitutional and unlawful”, the reference reads.

The reference further reads that the judgment is a mala fide and against the Shariah and human rights. The reference pleads the SJC to null and void the verdict against former president Pervez Musharraf and an action against Justice Waqar Seth demanded.
