A Pakistani high court will resume the hearing of seven accused in the Mumbai terror attack case on Wednesday.
The last hearing in the case was adjourned till March 25 as the government’s plea seeking cancellation of bail to attacks mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi is still pending before the court.
Earlier, at least four hearings could not be held because of this reason.
The last hearing on March 11 was adjourned for the same reason. The trial has been underway in Pakistan since 2009.
Lakhvi and six others —— Abdul Wajid, Mazhar Iqbal, Hamad Amin Sadiq, Shahid Jameel Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Younis Anjum — have been charged with planning and executing the Mumbai attack in November 2008 that left 166 people dead.
The 55—year—old Lakhvi is currently in detention in Pakistan under a public security order.
Lakhvi was detained last week before he could be released from jail following a court directive to set him free which had evoked a strong protest from India.
