Sheikh tendered his resignation just as the special court is all set to resume hearing of the high treason case against Musharraf. On December 4, 2013, the PML-N government issued a notification regarding the appointment of Akram Sheikh as the head of prosecution. However, General (retired) Pervez Musharraf fled from Pakistan and is still at large,” Sheikh stated in his resignation letter. It remains to be seen whether the PTI government-in-waiting will pursue the treason case or retain Akram Sheikh as the prosecutor. According to sources, the purpose of his visit is to hear the high treason case on August 1.
