26/11 Mumbai attacks: Pak judicial panel cancels 7 Sept visit to India
5 Sept 2013 4:08 AM IST
Once again, the Pakistani judicial commission, scheduled to arrive here on Saturday to cross- examine witnesses of the Mumbai terror attacks, has cancelled its visit, thereby further delaying the trial in that country.
It is understood that the eight-member panel has called-off its visit citing ‘technical and procedural issues’.
Last week, prosecutors had informed an anti-terrorism court in Islamabad conducting the trial of the seven suspects that an Indian government letter dated 23 August had stated that the Pakistani judicial commission could visit Mumbai during 5-6 September.
‘The panel will leave on 7 September for Delhi and it will need at least four days to cross-examine the four witnesses (in Mumbai),’ Riaz Akram Cheema, part of the team defending the accused, had told the court.
