| Court upholds Musharraf election
Quote:
Pakistan's new Supreme Court has - as expected - dismissed the final legal challenge to the recent re-election of President Pervez Musharraf.
Gen Musharraf's opponents had argued that his election was illegal because he was still head of the army.
The move clears the way for the general to resign as army chief, as promised, and be sworn in as a civilian leader.
He has vowed to "do his utmost" to end emergency rule before elections in January, UK leader Gordon Brown says.
President Musharraf is widely believed to have declared the 3 November state of emergency in order to purge the Supreme Court that he suspected was about to rule against his re-election, says the BBC's Barbara Plett in Islamabad.
