Islamabad: The hearing in the 2008 Mumbai attacks case in Pakistan against seven accused, including LeT commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, was today postponed to December 4 after the prosecution team failed to turn up.  


A witness was scheduled to be cross-examined today.  “The hearing was postponed after the prosecution team moved an application citing inability to appear,” Raja Rizwan Abbasi, the new lawyer of the accused told PTI. 

The earlier defence lawyers - Khawaja Haris and Riaz Akram Cheema - had separated themselves from the case.  

Cheema had been pursuing the case since the beginning while Haris replaced his father Khawaja Sultan Ahmed after his death over a year ago.

Cheema was also part of the Pakistani Judicial Commission that had visited India recently.  

India has been expressing disappointment with Pakistan over the slow pace of the progress in the trial.  

The seven Pakistani suspects have been charged with planning, financing and executing the attacks in India's financial hub.

Pakistan has acknowledged that the conspiracy behind the attacks was hatched on its soil.
