| 2015-03-26 |
| [DAWN] One of the key accused in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi has filed another petition with the Lahore High Court (LHC) challenging the detention order against him. They want to let him out but they're gonna take a lot of heat for it. They're shopping for a judge who'll do it. He adopted the stance that the Home Secretary should be advised to handle his case and said that detaining him is illegal and amounts to contempt of the ruling issued earlier by the Islamabad High Court (IHC). LHC officials forwarded the request for a hearing to the Chief Justice LHC. The LHC had, last Friday, rejected Lakhvi's previous petition challenging the detention order against him. Justice Mahmood Maqbool Bajwa had said after last week's hearing that in light of recent circumstances, it was possible that Lakhvi's release could cause turmoil in the country. On Mar 13, the third-time detention orders on Lakhvi were declared void by the IHC ─ a day after which the Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... home department reordered his detention. |
