For the second time in a row, a Pakistani anti-terrorism court holding the trial of seven accused in the Mumbai attack case adjourned the hearing till March 25 as the record of the case is still with the Islamabad High Court in connection with the government’s plea against bail to the attack mastermind Zakiur Rehman lakhvi.
“Today’s proceedings of the case could not be held after the ATC Islamabad was informed that the record of the case was still with the IHC in connection with the government’s plea against lakhvi’s bail,” Prosecution chief Chaudhry Azhar told PTI after the hearing.
As the next date for hearing of the Government’s plea for the cancellation of bail to leT operations commander lakhvi is on March 26, there is a possibility that the next hearing of the Mumbai attack case may be adjourned further.
