Pakistan court adjourns Lakhvi hearing as ‘judge on leave’
27 March 2015 5:42 AM IST
"The hearing of the government's plea for cancellation of bail to Lakhvi in the Islamabad High Court could not be held on Thursday as the judge was on leave," prosecution chief Chaudhry Azhar said. He said the court office would fix the next date of hearing.
No proceedings were held during the last hearing on March 17 because Lakhvi's counsel did not turn up.
On December 18, 2014, the Islamabad Anti-Terrorism Court, granted bail to Lakhvi but he was detained the very next day under the MPO.
However, the Islamabad High Court suspended Lakhvi's detention citing weak legal grounds.
..Gives 5 days to decide
A Pakistani court on Thursday directed the Punjab government to decide "within five days" the detention matter of LeT operations commander and 2008 Mumbai attack mastermind Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi. Lahore High Court Justice Mahmood Maqbool Bajwa ordered the home department of the Punjab government to decide the detention matter by March 31. Lakhvi on Wednesday filed a contempt of court petition in the LHC seeking a direction for the state government to decide his detention matter in the light of an order passed by High Court.
