ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Pakistan\u2019s government is seeking to remove the leader of a three-judge panel that sentenced former military ruler Pervez Musharraf to death on charges of treason and added a rider about his corpse, Law Minister Farogh Naseem said on Thursday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The judge, Waqar Ahmad Seth, had violated judicial conduct by issuing the bizarre order that Musharraf\u2019s body should hang in public if he dies before his execution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The federal government had decided to approach the Supreme Judicial council. \u201cOur plea is that such a judge has got no authority to be a judge of any high court or the supreme court,\u201d he said. \u201cHe is unfit.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court sentenced Musharraf to death on Tuesday after finding him guilty of high treason for subverting the constitution in 2007. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
