Pakistan government today sought the early hearing of LeT operations commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi's case in the Supreme Court, a day after the 2008 Mumbai terror attack mastermind was remanded to 14-day judicial custody for the abduction of an Afghan national.

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has challenged the suspension of the detention order of Lakhvi, Geo TV reported.

The Islamabad high court had suspended on Monday the notification of detention of Lakhvi in the Mumbai case.

Just before he was to be released, Lakhvi was arrested on charges of kidnapping Afghan national Muhammad Anwar Khan.
