A Pakistani anti-terrorism court holding the trial of the seven accused in the Mumbai attack case, including its mastermind <g data-gr-id="14">Zaki-ur Rehman</g> Lakhvi, today adjourned the hearings till July 15 as the judge 

was on leave.

“No proceeding of the case was held today because the judge of <g data-gr-id="15">trial</g> court (Anti-Terrorism Court Islamabad) was on ‘Umra leave’. The judge has gone to Saudi Arabia to perform Umra,” a court official told PTI after the hearing.

The court office adjourned the hearing till next Wednesday. During the last <g data-gr-id="13">hearing</g> the court had summoned four witnesses for recording of their statements.

In the last week’s two hearings, the trial court had exempted Lakhvi from appearing in the court due to “threats to his life’. Lakhvi’s lawyers had also cross-examined two witnesses, including the owner of a local company.
