At the end of the day, even Anarchy is not illegal. The nation as a whole can decide to overthrow every institution in Pakistan and if the nation agrees, that doing so is legal then even constitution has no worth.
Recall the Jan 2011 decision on Gilani's case. The one with various options. It gave various options but in the end Option 6 said - leave it to the political sovereign. Political sovereign is the public, the electorate.
IF the public accepted Musharraf's actions, nothing is above it.
Musharraf was ratified by:
1) Supreme Court
2) Referendum
3) Parliament
Hence I repeat, his coup on Oct 12, 1999 was not an illegal act.
You will have to prove coercion.
show me the provision of the constitution that shows you can over through elected government and get de facto period by courts in your favour and then elect yourself as president with uniform by a puppet parliament ?
the constitution gives right to assembly with reasonable restrictions to maintain law and order... anarchy by no means is legal..
P.s. the precedence you are trying to suggest, is not appropriate here, contempt of court and over throwing elected govt and suspending the constitution twice, are two different cases..
people's will and army's intervention are altogether two different things... if people attack and over through elected government that would still be revolution, but army taking over is badmashi !!
