He was everything in his heyday with the entire range of authorities at his disposal — unchallenged and unquestioned — just like a god. From crammed barracks to the palatial GHQ and from opulent President’s House to swanky penthouse in Dubai, the man was a darling of lady luck. But power has this odious knack of changing its masters and luck is a carefree cluster of clouds. Things changed and changed dramatically. The man who once wore countless caps on his head and became an international figure, is now confined in a police facility. Has he turned full circle? Time is about to tell.

**Demolish Musharraf’s farmhouse, SC orders CDA
**
ISLAMABAD: Soon after the dismissal of Pervez Musharraf’s plea for bail, the Supreme Court (SC) on Friday directed the Capital Development Authority (CDA) to demolish illegal constructions in the former president’s farmhouse.
Hearing a case against agriculture farmhouses built in violation, a three-member SC bench, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry, ordered the civic body to restore 504 farmhouses to the status, as envisaged in the original lease deal, within three weeks.
In view of this SC order, Musharraf’s five-acre palatial farmhouse in Chak Shahzad will also be demolished. His farmhouse —having five huge bedrooms, several lobbies and a swimming pool is estimated to be worth more than Rs300 million.
