ISLAMABAD—A Pakistan high court ruled on Monday that the establishment of the special court that sentenced former President Pervez Musharraf to death last month was unconstitutional.

The three-member bench of the Lahore High Court announced its brief judgment on a petition filed by Musharraf challenging the formation of the special court in 2013 by the Pakistan Muslim League government of then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
