According to prosecution chief Chaudhry, the prosecution had to produce more witnesses before this decision which they were not expecting.
“We were not expecting this decision as we have to produce a good number of witnesses in the case. We are awaiting the court's detailed order before giving further comment on the decision,” he said.
Lakhvi's counsel advocate Raja Rizwan Abbasi said that the court had granted bail as “evidence against Lakhvi was deficient”.
The decision triggered quite an uproar in Indian political parties across the board as they accused Pakistan of sheltering terrorists. It also came under attack from the prosecutor in the Ajmal Kasab case, Ujwal Nikam.
